That's entirely subjective and theoretical (unless you've implemented it and reviewed the resulting look of the code). In my (equally subjective and theoretical) opinion it would still look like concatenation, and would confuse me. I made a deliberate point of saying that *to me* it looked like concatenation. YMMV - remember this tangent was started by people stating their opinions. Saying that your opinion differs doesn't invalidate their (my) view. > tl;dr, UX is weaker when the editor implies a free-form expression in every > possible way, but the writer can't use the quote they always use, and I > think strings will be common in f-string expression sections. FWIW I would instantly reject any code passed to me for review which used the same quote within an f-string as was used to delimit it, should this proposal be accepted. Also, a lot of code is read on media that doesn't do syntax highlighting - email, books, etc. A construct that needs syntax highlighting to be readable is problematic because of this.
