One could read in the documentation and/or run convert-ly.  That you
guessed right without either while professing to be a scheme illiterate
(Scheme literacy would not actually helped since the earlier behavior of
$xxx inside of #{ ... #} had nothing to do with Scheme) is a bit of
endorsement for the change: its intent was to reduce the amount of clue
required for writing working code.
