Users who try to use JSHint[1] to validate a code which uses this will get a
"Bad escapement" error.
Although they can just change it to
var str = "{" + "{subst:template}}";
var str = "~~" + "~~";
to avoid the errors, having to fix every time these sequences of characters
which have special meaning in wiki markup is a PITA. Valid JavaScript code
should not have have unexpected results when inside of a wiki page.
[1] The tool http://www.jshint.com/ is recommended by the developers, at
[[mw:Manual:Coding_conventions/JavaScript#Performance_and_best_practices]]
