What is the final format for string interpolation in VS 2015?

I can't get string interpolation to work. Last news from MS I found was

http://blogs.msdn.com/b/csharpfaq/archive/2014/11/20/new-features-in-c-6.aspx

However all that is said there is not working. Anyone knows if string interpolation made it into VS 2015? Is there any documentation about it? Can one you give an example?

For instance, none of these formats work (edited):

int i = 42;
var s = "\{i}";  // correction after jon's answer: this works!
var s = $"{i}";  // compiler error
var s = "{{i}}"; // no interpolation

edit about VS 2015 CTP 6 (20.4.2015 )

The final version is

var s = $"{i}"

also supported by the current Resharper version ReSharper 9.1.20150408.155143

Your first form did work in the VS2015 Preview:

int i = 42;
var s = "\{i}";

That compiled and ran for me. ReSharper complained, but that's a different matter.

For the final release of C#, it is:

var s = $"{i}";
