Well, for what it's worth, string interpolation is pointless to begin with as $name."'s dog" works perfectly fine.
Now try that in a lengthy "here document." Sure, interpolation is a waste on short strings, but it's quite handy when you have a larger bit of boiler plate.
At least the syntax ${names}'s works around the "feature."
