Maybe I spend a lot of time writing shell code too, but I very much appreciate the extra visual cue. The only real point I'm trying to make is that expressions within an f-string are an *escape*. They escape the normal semantics of a string literal and instead do something else for a while. Therefore, the escaped sections should not look like (or need to conform to) the rest of the string and they should not require quoting as if it were still within the string, because I escaped it already!
