Strings and things

[Jim Laskey]

Dear amber-dev,

Over on amber-spec-experts, I’ve posted a proposal for “string templates”. I
hope people are as excited about this feature as we expect they will be.

As a brief reminder, the amber-dev list is not, in general, for language
design discussions; this list is primarily for discussion of implementation,
bug repoorts, experience reports, etc.  We should let the experts do their
job without having to follow parallel discussions on multiple lists.

If people want to post brief, reasoned feedback on the approach,
applicability, or usefulness (but *NOT* the syntax) of the proposal here,
that would be fine. Please, let’s keep it constructive.

Cheers,

-- Jim
