Aren't these macros?

tag`literal${substitution}literal`

macro`literal${substitution}literal`

The default or passthru macro applies when the developer does not supply a
macro.

Or if you prefer

macro_function`a macro with ${substitution} here`

Then we don't have to spend several years explaining how template strings
are templates but not <template>s and aren't string templates because they
take non-string substitutions.

(IMO oxymoronic quasi-literal is embarrassing).
