Thinking about this a little bit more: pushing interpolation/
concatenation to the furthest extreme you get to using eval-like
construct, which is generally not considered something you want to
do. Not quite that far you get SQL-injection (to bring the point a
little closer to home). Now, granted you don't need to worry about
these types of things in the specific example you provided, but these
are related to the more general "it's bad practice" statement.
