Description
Currently you can't interpolate into W_cmd's, quoting from the PR:
W`Sin[$(1+1)]` # W"Sin"(2)The main challenge with this is that
$is allowed to be used in a variable name (see >here). I'm not sure how best to do this, but perhaps open a new issue to discuss it.

Research direction
Start at the W_cmd entry point and compare its current parsing with the example WSin[$(1+1)]. Investigate how Julia variable names containing $ are distinguished from interpolation syntax. Done means a decided interpolation behavior that handles this ambiguity and is covered by relevant tests.
