I added class InterpolationSyntaxError(Error). Fred quickly fixed it :-), added a bunch of docstrings, fixed the constructor call I noted, and added some tests.

Doesn't sound like there should be a problem. Most of my changes are to the _read logic -- I also added a bunch of regression tests for the new features, but I did it in such a way that collision seems unlikely. I'll check them in today or tomorrow and make sure everything is copacetic.
