So should f strings now go away? They are just a special case of t strings.

Also, don’t get me started on g strings.

No

Not really, because they produce a string right away instead of a template.

No. F-strings should still be the default. T-strings aren't usable directly, and don't have a `str` like API, so they aren't even compatible, intentionally.
