In the example url I just posted, concatenation renders each string before 
concatenation, the returns a regular string with both concatenated.

If interp into interp ((boggle)), when the passed one gets formated, the 
formatting operation will render it.  Good test case.

It will be an object holding a raw template string, and a number of variables. 
In normal usage I don't suspect it to be a problem.
