I've been toying with the idea of having arbitrary string types, like

    sql"SELECT FROM ..."
or

    re"\d\d[abc]"
that the development environment could highlight properly, that would ... I don't know. In the end t and f string don't do anything that a t() and f() function couldn't have done, except they are nice. So it would be nice to have more.

IIRC, previous versions of the PEP wanted things to work this way. You might also be interested in the "syntactic macros" PEP (https://peps.python.org/pep-0638/).
