An argument could be made for the word "replacement", but I've found it
useful to reserve that plain-spoken term for
discussion of things a
human might do (perhaps in the course of editing a document or
developing a macro). To my ear, "interpolation" sounds fancy enough to
refer to something you let a machine do, without being _excessively_
technical in tone.
Strictly speaking, what is interpolated is the _contents_ of the register,
not the register itself. It never hurts to be too clear.
