Third draft spec for String Templates (JEP 430) now available

[Dan Smith]

Enthusiastically endorse two big design choices reflected here:

- The use of Fragments to represent the string content that gets interleaved with embedded expressions

- The requirement that a StringTemplate or TextBlockTemplate only appear in a program after a '.' character

Nice work, feels quite manageable and doesn't blow up the grammar!

Dear experts:

A new, updated spec covering JEP 430 (String Templates) is now available at:

https://cr.openjdk.java.net/~gbierman/jep430/latest

This is a substantial rewrite: it now covers more fully how templates are tokenized, how to deal with ambiguities, and how text block templates are dealt with.

Comments welcomed!
Gavin
