>> Enhance the Java programming language with string templates, which are similar to string literals but contain embedded expressions. A string template is interpreted at run time by replacing each expression with the result of evaluating that expression, possibly after further validation and transformation. This is a [preview language feature and API](http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/12).

The Digits utility implementation class is not public and would be useful elsewhere before JEP 430 is final.
The PreviewFeature annotation is not needed and would impede its use else where, for example, in HexFormat.
