Seems you miss understood my notion of dynamic string.
Dynamic strings are expressions in disguise: the things
in between $...$ are plain old expressions (with optional 
formatting specifications). They are evaluated
as if they were outside the dynamic string. We put them
in there to to kill two birds with one stone: 
   1) ease of reading;
   2) place holding.

Cheers,
