Comment(by jmr@…):

 Replying to [comment:1 ryandesign@…]:
 > Can't this already be accomplished without changing base by just
 doubling the backslashes before the numbers? I'm sure we already do this
 in tons of ports.
 Yes. This isn't peculiar to reinplace either, you have to do the same
 thing when constructing a string to be run as a shell command for example.
 If you want a literal string, use braces. If you want some but not all of
 the normal substitutions, call subst(n) on your literal string with
 appropriate options.
