An f-string would be shorthand for str(i-string).
If I understand correctly, the point of i-strings would be to make it easy to do things like sql argument interpolation the right way. But if sql(f-string) is still legal (as it seems like it would have to be for quite a while to come, for backwards compatibility) then the wrong way is still just as easy as the right way, and no less obvious (what do the letters "f" and "i" have to do with sql?). So it seems to me that having both f-strings and i-strings will just add a lot of complication and confusion without really helping anything. -- Greg
