Don't you see how that would make the string uglier and harder to 
use correctly by forcing escaping of an extremely common 
sequence? Remember, this is used with D code, along side curly 
brace syntax and the $ operator in slices, as well as for 
ordinary strings that use $ to mean a bunch of other things.

${} is unambiguous in token strings and much more clear in normal 
strings.
