What's the issue with f-strings? I'm wondering because I thought they basically had no downside versus using the older alternatives. I use them so often that they are very substantive to me. If anything, this is exactly what python should be focusing on, there really isn't a lot more that they can do considering the design, expectations, and usage of python.

In the motivation for the t-string types, their gripe is that f-strings are not templates.

My issue with them is that you have to write your syntax in the string complex expressions dictionary access and such become awkward.

But, this whole thing is bike-shedding in my opinion, and I don't really care about the color of the bike shed.
