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.
