Except that q:meta would be an upgrade in terms of specialness,
and besides, it's inside out from what you want, which is to quote
a particular argument to a string interpolation, not the entire
interpolation. It just wants to be a miscellaneous
, not the entire
: interpolation. It just wants to be a miscellaneous function hidden
: in the bowels of the core somewhere.

The question is, escaped for what? quotemeta() is rather Unix
