String Interpolation
Opt-in with a $ prefix; ${ ... } slots splice evaluated expressions into the string.
§ 1Interpolation
Interpolation is opt-in: prefix the string literal with $. Inside a $"..." (or $<<TAG), ${ ... } slots evaluate any expression and splice the result into the string. Without the prefix ${...} is literal text. All four encodings accept the $ prefix.
