+There are three forms of dollar sign escape.
 The most general form encloses an expression in `${` and `}`, i.e. `${expr}`. 
 The expression enclosed in the braces that follow the leading `$` character is of 
 syntactical category BlockExpr. Hence, it can contain multiple statements, 
 and newlines are significant. Single ‘$’-signs are not permitted in isolation
