I'm not sure I can think of a way to explain to a new Python programmer that
she needs to inline all her string literals...
(people who do interpolation tend to expect dynamic lexical scoping, not static
object binding...)
btw, note that you can get the same behaviour with today's Python:
s = I("some string here with ", variable, " in it")
that's only a little harder to type, is properly rendered by all existing IDEs
and code
colorizers, is understood by existing code analysis tools, is trivial to extend
with new
formatting operations, and is of course straightforward to override on all
levels.
