Add string interpolation to Java using back-ticks similar to ECMAScript

[Ben Evans]

Hi Behrang,

This topic and suggestion has been extensively discussed over the
course of several different Java releases.

Before suggesting discussing it again, I recommend that you use your
friendly neighbourhood search engine to read the discussion that has
occurred on previous occasions. I don't believe that the situation has
changed significantly since the last time this was discussed - but
perhaps you have a new, compelling reason that has not been thought of
during any of the previous discussions.

If you do have a good new reason, then I suggest that providing a
prototype patch to javac that implements this will be a good way to
get people interested in this again. If you have such a patch, then
compiler-dev is the place to post it.

Thanks,

Ben
