Python already has *3* different built-in string
formatting/interpolation systems:
http://docs.python.org/library/string.html#template-strings
http://docs.python.org/library/string.html#format-string-syntax
http://docs.python.org/library/stdtypes.html#string-formatting-operations
Do we really want to add yet another to this pile?

I would surmise that your key "implicitly grab variable values from
the enclosing scope" feature has previously been rejected for being
too magical.

Cheers,
Chris
