Subject: [ruby-core:70705] Re: [Ruby trunk - Bug #11519] [Feedback] "#{nil}"	produces string as US-ASCII rather than current encoding

���#{nil}���.encoding != ���UTF-8��� and ���#{bar}#{foo}���.encoding != ���UTF-8��� despite foo being UTF-8 and the encoding of the source file and hence the ��� ��� ��� string within the source file being UTF-8.
