+/**
+ * INTERP CODE REVIEW: This test fails, but its not clear to me why.
+ *
+ * One reason is that LOP_MOVE is added indiscriminately with interpolated strings, whereas
+ * standard namecalls only add it where necessary.
+ * I am not sure how to fix that, but at least understand why it happens.
+ *
+ * The second reason, however, is that the registers are completely different for both.
+ * Since the conformance tests pass, this might just be a difference without a distinction,
+ * like if "format" is being registered before the other strings, for instance.
+ *
+ * (""):format() codegen:
+ * LOADK R0 K0
+ * LOADK R2 K1
+ * NAMECALL R0 R0 K2
+ * CALL R0 2 1
+ * RETURN R0 0
+ *
+ * Interpolated string codegen:
+ * LOADK R1 K0
+ * LOADK R3 K1
+ * NAMECALL R1 R1 K2
+ * CALL R1 2 1
