That's it exactly. Very well expressed, thanks Uri.

Make \E significant only where it's explicit. Also make \E signifcant
only when \I is in effect.

So to get the string '$$$$$$$$$interpolated\E\Einterpolated\E$$$$$$$$$$'
we write:

        $x = 'interpolated\E';
        $y = q{$$$$$$$$$\I$x\E\E\I$x\E$$$$$$$$$$};
