good point. $() can still wrap that but then there has to be a balance
between printf strings and double quoters. how about this wacky idea:
make a new type of string where %foo{bar} is not interpolated by
default. maybe something in the q/qq family could be added like qn for
no hash interpolation. you can use $() to still force it if you need to
in printf formats.
just trying out various ideas,
