Cool.
I get it now apart from the "templated string" example. I'm not very
knowledgable about templated strings but on the face it looks like
'a${x}b${y}' already inserts x and y into the string, so I'm not sure what
else is happening with your proposed method? Clearly I've missed something.
Apart from that, how would you handle arrays that whose values are not all
strings?
For naming is still think "weave" would be OK from what I know so far
