I think that we're working towards severe enough changes that
interpolation of '' strings isn't going to be a major issue. Stop me
right there if this isn't the case, Mark ;)

However, are we all agreed that strings should always be quoted
somehow? That's a bigger difference, to my mind, since it affects
things like signal=kill.
