*Hi everyone!* :wave:

I’m working on a use case involving a GraphQL query and encountering an issue related to Kotlin's string interpolation behavior. Here's a snippet for context:

```val FeedbackMutation = """mutation InsertFeedback($question2Rating: Int, $comment: String) {
  insert_feedback_one(object: {question2Rating: $question2Rating, comment: $comment}) {
    __typename
  }
}
"""```
The problem arises because `$question2Rating` and `$comment` in the query conflict with Kotlin's string interpolation syntax.

What’s the best way to handle such cases? Are there any workarounds you’d recommend for escaping or managing this behavior effectively?

See also <https://github.com/Kotlin/KEEP/blob/dollar-escape/proposals/dollar-escape.md>

Is this the only way ? (I'm already doing it, but it's not really readable)

Well, I guess that's what the proposal is about

You can always define a toplevel constant and do
```"""I am a $dollar sign""" ```
But it's the same thing really

TBH I don't mind too much. Even if the proposal was implemented, I'd probably keep `${'$'}`

Thanks, I will keep it like that until maybe an evolution
