Literal string cannot be used inside interpolated expression

[pao]

julia> asdf = "ghij"
"ghij"

julia> file_path(asdf, "src")
"ghij/src"

julia> "$(file_path(asdf, \"src\"))"
ParseError("missing comma or ) in argument list")

julia> "$(\"a\")"
ParseError("missing separator in tuple")

Is there a trick I haven't picked up or is this actually not currently possible?

Sorry, Jeff, you'll have to continue hating interpolation.

Workaround:

julia> "$(file_path(asdf, string(:src)))"
"ghij/src"

(Of course, assigning to a variable first is an easier workaround...)

I never stopped hating string interpolation. This was also filed as #455, and we decided the best fix was to implement triple-quoted strings.

Ahh, my mistake, closing as dup of #455, then.
