True, yet I should have made it more apparent (and relevant to the 
thread) that without the above syntax, this is difficult:

$sql = "SELECT * FROM {$table_prefix}my_plugin_table";

Stylistically, I like to keep all of my in-double-quote variable 
references inside braces because I can scan for them visually a bit 
easier and they're easier to copy and paste into places where braces 
would be required.  But I admit that I have certain quirks I like to 
adhere to as a personal standard.  ;)
