Here documents: how to avoid string interpolation?

[A. Sundararajan]

Hi,

The following seems to work (based on code reading + testing):

var str = "hello";
var s = "$\{str} world";
print(s); // prints ${str} world
var s1 = "${str} world";
print(s1) // prints "hello world"

Still, I've filed a bug to clarify and document expected, supported 
behaviour.

Thanks,
-Sundar
