Maybe backquotes could be repurposed in Py3k for interpolated string literals? backquotes are a PITA to type on many non-US keyboards.
Not to mention the annoyingly large number of fonts that make '`' and ''' look virtually identical :(
Besides, backquotes don't give you a way to supply the values to feed into the interpolated literal the way string.Template does, or a 'format' builtin would.
This does make me think of the interesting prospect of an internationalised string literal, though (e.g., _"This an il8n string"). I'm not sure it would be enough of a win over the status quo though, since doing the language conversion at compile time could make it interesting to try and switch languages at run time.
Cheers, Nick.
