Add support for arithmetic operators in number interpolations (fixes #91)

- Implement arithmetic operations (+, -, *, /) for numeric interpolations
- Return int when both operands are int, float otherwise
- Fall back to string concatenation for non-numeric operands
- Add comprehensive tests for all operations and edge cases
- Optimize implementation for performance with single-pass processing
