Interesting.  So the way this should be handled might vary between
languages: in sh such nesting is common, with fairly complex code nested
inside string, whereas from what you say in Ruby this is sufficiently
rare that we may prefer to use another approach (that doesn't work as
well in the general case but is nicer in the simple(&common) case).
