Problem is that interpolation is done at the time the String
is first encountered, which may complicate things since the
variable used for substitution may not be available, if I am
understanding correctly.

However, this works in those in situations:

# file-one
str = "Inserted %s."

# file-two
require 'file-one'
puts str % 'this from file two'
