Actually, I think this is easy discoverable by the interpreter. For 
instance, the interpreter can convert foo.'something' or foo."something" 
or foo."#{'some'}thing" to foo.something, but foo."#{something}" would 
be converted to "foo.send :something".

So, I would vote for the interpolation to be allowed... Additionally, I 
think that differently from "send", foo."#{something}" should not be 
allowed if "something" is a private method.
