Well, I was wondering if my function returned "CR", then
"\c[$(call_a_func())]" would mean that the "CR" gets run thought the
\c[...] conversion and a single byte ("\r") is what ends up in the string.
Even if that's of little practical use, what does the language design team
say should happen when perl6's 1 level lexer finds something that looks like
an attempt to interpolate within one of the other double-quotish
constructions?
