If this is just for sql queries ... it'd be overkill especially where you need to compare the usual PREPARE statements with the hassle of keeping everyone on 3.14 and above.

It's also for logging:

    log.debug(f"The value of counter was {counter}, the nonce was {nonce}")
builds a new string every time the interpreter hits this line. Whereas

    log.debug(t"The value of counter was {counter}, the nonce was {nonce}")
passes a Template to the debug() function that bails out if debug mode is not on and doesn't build a string.
