[ruby-core:66460] [ruby-trunk - misc #10541] Remove shorthand string interpolation syntax

Issue #10541 has been updated by Eric Wong.


 I use it frequently.  It saves me keystrokes and screen space.
 I think it is more readable and less noisy this way, too.
 Removing it will break existing code I have.
 Perhaps it needs to be used more so more Rubyists know about it...

misc #10541: Remove shorthand string interpolation syntax

----------------------------------------
I would like to see the shorthand string interpolation syntax, "foo#@bar" deprecated and then removed in 3.0.

My reasons:

1. Most experienced Ruby developers I've talked to don't even know it exists.
2. It has been the cause of real problems. http://status.cloudamqp.com/incidents/vj62pnp62tj9

When a syntax is not widely known and has the potential for problems, I think it makes sense to deprecate and remove.
