Python already has *3* different built-in string formatting/interpolation systems: http://docs.python.org/library/string.html#template-strings http://docs.python.org/library/string.html#format-string-syntax http://docs.python.org/library/stdtypes.html#string-formatting-operations Do we really want to add yet another to this pile? I would surmise that your key "implicitly grab variable values from the enclosing scope" feature has previously been rejected for being too magical.
