It feels a bit like "cheating" that new x-string features are built-in only. It would be cool to be able to do:

    from foo import bar
    bar"zoop"

meh, the difference between bar"zoop" and bar("zoop") isn't really big enough to be worth it.

I like F strings a lot, but for the most part I think all of the various X-strings should just be classes that take a string as an argument.
