Nice work!

So we're on the eve of pronouncement and though I've read several bring up the slightly-unfortunate naming of f-strings in the past, I've not seen recent discussion on the subject. While the 498 implementation looks best, it still could be tweaked on the surface to use one of the other names or letters that had come up. The original idea was to use f'' because it was thought that the feature would be locked to str.format, but that is no longer as true as it was originally.

To my knowledge there was i for interpolation, t for template, and e for expression suggested. Any better ideas?

It's a good time to have this bikeshed discussion, because if the PEP is accepted news will get out and the name will be set in cement. Previous drafts have made it out to hacker news and reddit, as the feature is exciting, so acceptance should as well.
