Debate around the usefulness aside, are there any linter rules for warning about f-strings in light of this? I can easily see where mistaking one for the other would cause problems. For context, I'm thinking specifically about tools like Black and MyPy.

The runtime and static type of the template string is different to fstring (Template vs str). Unless you’re passing them somewhere that accepts strings, you can’t go wrong.

I actually quite like the simplicity of this design over tagged literals in JS.
