The following code fails to parse:
trace('${'This' {" should";} ' work'}');
Outputs:
Unexpected work

Tested with http://try.haxe.org, version reported as 3.1.0 1c25e98

Shouldn't this fail at This? (because the string is closed in '${')

This should probably parse though:

var a = "This"   {" should";}   " work";

This is an interpolated string. According to the Haxe manual, anything inside the ${} is taken as an expression, and any expression is allowed. This includes other strings (as well as blocks, functions, loops, etc).

A strange construct, yes, but it's in the docs:
