Beginners always want to write this:
print "The sum of three and four is: 3+4";
And they want the 3+4 part to be evaluated, so that it prints this:
The sum of three and four is: 7
Of course, it's a double-quoted string, so it's not evaluated. The only
things that are evaluated in double-quoted strings are variable
references.
There are solutions to this, but most of them are ugly. This module is
less ugly.
