 Eshell expression ${elisp_expression} inside String does not parse
Date: Thu, 17 Nov 2022 11:30:49 -0500
[Message part 6 (text/plain, inline)]
================================
Emacs 28.1 running as

emacs -Q

M-x eshell

~/tmp $ echo "Epoch started on ${date 0}"

Expected result: "Epoch started on Wed Dec 31 19:00:00 196"
Actual result:   "Epoch started on date 0: command not found"

Comments: It appears that inside a string, in expression such as

echo "Epoch started on ${elisp_expression}"

is not parsed by the elisp parser into ${commands arguments}. Instead, the
full string "elisp_expression" ("date 0" in the example) is being looked up
as a command.
