This 'foreignscminterface' is actually a category in the 2nd column
of the file (like 'porcelain'). It is unrelated to common command
groups (3rd column). Since those group names are not meant to be printed,
I guess it is sufficient to keep them short.

Indeed, the quotes are unnecessary and $(...) seems to be more
appropriate too.
I'll update the patch.

Thank you,
