Those that aren't specific to Python will have to solve a similar problem
for e.g. Swift, which supports \(...) in all strings with arbitrary
expressions in the ..., or Perl which apparently also supports arbitrary
expressions. Heck, even Bash supports something like this,
"...$(command)...".
I am not disinclined in adding some restrictions to make things a little
more tractable, but they would be along the lines of the Swift restriction
(the interpolated expression cannot contain string quotes). However, I do
think we should support f"...{a['key']}...".
