|We have it today:
James, you are dreaming too :)

| >> ruby_code = "2 + 2"
|=> "2 + 2"
| >> "2 + 2 = #{eval(ruby_code)}"
|=> "2 + 2 = 4"
it's not reader, but run-time string expantion,
reader it would be, when you can get result after _read_;
now in Ruby:
>> gets
"#{2+2}"
=> "\"\#{2+2}\"\n"
string was read and returned unmodified;

btw: why eval in your sample? "#{ruby_code}" is good enough for
evaluation sample in string;
