-1 on all line-noise string modifiers. (I just looked at Barry's
example and part of my reptilian hindbrain thought it was a regex match.
Don't do that to Perl and awk refugees, please!)
All existing string modifiers are letters; how about "i" for
"interpolation":
a = i"my name is $name"
Assuming of course that we really do need yet another flavour of
strings...
