Right. But those other languages aren't putting D code in their 
strings, which use $ as a fairly common symbol in array indexes. 
A less common symbol in D would probably be #, which ruby uses 
for its interpolation.

It really isn't a big deal (I'm skeptical that interpolation will 
be of much value to mixins anyway), just something I want to make 
sure we're all aware of.
