but:
1. There are costs doing it in python. And easy implementation doing it in
editor (with the typing support it's almost already done).
2. The f-string functionality is not there right now, but f'{name!id}'
would leverage what is there and, with editor support, give the exact
`nameof`` support even without further interpret support.
The other use cases you mention are easily dealt with, assuming editor and
typing.LiteralString (subclassed) support.
