It may be just me, but in a programming context I see 'interpolate' as
referring to the interpolation behavior of string literals. I assume
that your name choice is reflecting it's use in graphics?
The actual meaning of interpolate is much more vague; it just means to
insert or interject. I thought interspersing was pretty good, as it
implies (to me) multiple copies at regular intervals.
