A notation where you don't have to repeat a possibly long expression.
For example, numerical positions like regular expressions. Consider
this possible notation:
f'There are {count} expression{pluralize(count)} denoted by {=0}.'
Otherwise it isn't great, but it's definitely concise. In the
simplest case you could omit the position:
f'{=} is {count} at this point in the program.'

You *can't* use different identifiers for the name and value in
"postfix =": the same text is used twice, once as a string and one as
an identifier.
