Agreed. I think I found a short prefix "f{" hard to see, but that is
just "practice". I'm not inherently in the "but _only strings_ should
have prefixes" camp.
My remark about the bickering was aimed at unadorned brackets eg the
"{{frozen literal set here }}" suggestion.
Anyway, this post is just for clarification, not arguing any particular
point.
