Short answer: nope, sorry lol ;)
Personally though I concatenate every string I have that needs to have a
variable in it. Makes it so the variables are highlighted in my syntax
editor for one thing, but it's also a bit faster to use only single quoted
strings with string concatenation, rather than just stuff them all inside a
double quoted string.
Not that it would really effect you much unless you had a hugely long script
though.
