Yup, "build" the string instead of "interpret" the string. 
That's exactly how I rewrote it first, but I couldn't think of a good
reason to throw out what SHOULD work just because it ... didn't. So I
went looking for a difference that might make a difference to the
interpretor/parser that wouldn't make a difference to me, and that's
where I got to the "Wait, all of these objects have braces around the
whole thing. It didn't SAY it was needed, but the ostensibly Smart
People are doing it..."
