Subject: [ruby-core:66459] Re: [ruby-trunk - misc #10541] [Open] Remove shorthand string interpolation syntax

I use it frequently.  It saves me keystrokes and screen space.
I think it is more readable and less noisy this way, too.
Removing it will break existing code I have.
Perhaps it needs to be used more so more Rubyists know about it...
