BTW, is the .idup must be there?
It is discussed more in the github document but basically the
proposed built-in syntax returns a generic builder thing which
can make more than just strings. The idup specifically asks it
to make a copy into a string as opposed to the other things it
can provide too.
I love the extensibility of this, but perhaps there should be
something like `ii"foo".idup` that's syntactic sugar for
`i"foo".idup`. New users might get confused by the need for
appending idup, and then they'll think about how other languages
don't necessitate this perceived superfluity when using their
interpolated string.
