   Oh… … I don't like this. I really don't like this.

   (The thing I don't like is that {}, which you might want to use instead of quotes due to the balancing feature, also disable interpolation. There aren't a lot of language design concepts I got out of Perl that I still think are good ideas, but the one I still strongly believe is that every language needs easy-to-use balanced quote delineators. `qq` is the best thing in Perl.)
