I've read each version of the DIP and all the arguments. 
Admittedly, if I don't understand why something's important, I 
skim (and I did a bit of skimming on this topic as it's not super 
important to me).

I think my confusion was more basic and related to the DIP 
itself, rather than the addendum. For instance, if I have a 
function
void foo(string x) {}
then I would have expected to be able to pass an interpolated 
string literal to it just as in any other. However, a closer 
reading of this DIP suggests that is not intended.
