Not sure about introducing yet another string prefix. Between f-strings, raw strings, and i18n stuff, it’s already getting crowded. Curious how readable this will be in large codebases.

I'm of the opposite opinion. Let's set the prefixes free!

    from sql import sql

    query = sql"SELECT user_id, user_name FROM {user_table_versioned} WHERE user_name = {user_name}"
