[Python-ideas] Draft PEP on string interpolation

[Mike Miller]

Yes, we were discussing these custom prefixes in Yuri's thread yesterday, but 
Guido dropped a big -1 there.  However, you Eric and Nick make some compelling 
arguments in favor of them; they do solve several of our outstanding issues.

Would he be able to be persuaded to change his mind?

-Mike

(Note: I edited out the backticks aspect from below, don't think it will be 
possible or desired, as Chris R. demonstrated in this thread.)
