PregReplaceEModifierRector doesn't kick in if there's a variable embedded (string interpolation) within the pattern #8920
Description
Hello!
This is from the same old codebase I wrote about earlier, but this time it is actually stepping over without doing the transformation. I tried to figure out the minimal reproducible example below:
<?php
$pattern = '\d+';
-$str = preg_replace("/" . $pattern . "/e", "str_repeat('#', \\1)");
+$str = preg_replace_callback("/" . $pattern . "/", fn($matches): string => str_repeat('#', $matches[1]));
$str = preg_replace("/$pattern/e", "str_repeat('#', \\1)"); // No changes hereThanks!
