That is a legacy behavior, as far as I'm concerned. In some other
editors that I've looked at (e.g. Vim and either Sublime Text or Atom),
the contents of the interpolation construct look like normal text. You
can have nested strings and interpolations inside them, so it's a good
semantic cue.

If the contents are highlighted differently, the variable name will
stand out just the same, even with the delimiters highlighted.

We don't use font-lock-variable-name-face for "plain variables" outside
of strings, though. Not in ruby-mode, at least.
