1. A string chunk (`` `...{ ``, `}...{`, and `` }...` ``) where `...` is a range of 0 to many characters.
* `\` escapes `` ` ``, `{`, and itself `\`.
* Restriction: the string interpolation literal must have at least one value to interpolate. We do not need 3 ways to express a single line string literal.
* The pairs must be on the same line (unless a `\` escapes the newline) but expressions needn't be on the same line.
2. An expression between the braces. This is the value that will be interpolated into the string.
* Restriction: we explicitly reject `{{` as it is considered an attempt to escape and get a single `{` character at runtime.
