Proposal: Interpretation Switch - GetPoplog/Seed GitHub Wiki

*Work in Progress

This is a proposal to introduce $ as a quasi-quote or interpretation-switch. The basic idea is that $ changes the interpretation of what follows.

$WORD - get/set env

This is synonymous with systranslate( WORD ) and can be used in update mode.

$TERM;
'xterm' -> $TERM;

Also supported is `$"'Strange-Variable'".

The following is not supported ${PWD} because ${...} is best used for other things.

$STRING - string interpolation

This supports string interpolation. e.g. $'This is {your_name} life'
