Remember whether we are doing variable interpolation or if the user actually spelled it out with '.' between each part of the string, and give either "... in concatenation (.)" or "... in string interpolation" as the warning, or 2. Modify the warning message to not be so specific, like this: "... in concatenation (.) or string interpolation" Obviously #2 is easier, but #1 is probably the Right Way(tm).
