3. All of the complex examples look scary, but in practice I wouldn't write stuff like that - why would anyone do so unless they were being deliberately obscure? I'm quite sure that users will write complex code in f-strings. So am I. Some people will always write bad code. I won't (or at least, I'll try not to write code that *I* consider to be complex :-)) but "you can use this construct to write bad code" isn't an argument for dropping the feature. If you couldn't find *good* uses, that would be different, but that doesn't seem to be the case here (at least in my view).
I think this corner of the debate is covered by the "Consenting adults" guiding principle we use 'round these parts. Cheers, //arry/
