Even a function wouldn't scale that well for i18n purpose, 'cause you
should write either a function per language or each language switch
statement per function.
I see current ES6 string templates good for debug purpose only, and not
much else ... maybe English centric developers tools so few, definitively
good use cases, but nothing that useful or powerful for the known Web.
```
var template = ``Hello ${name} !``;
template({name: 'there'}); // Hello there !
```
But I know, double back-tick might look too like double rainbow: "OMG what
does it mean" ??!
