A use case which I already had a few times already is templated strings
for mixins.

I also just noticed that for this particular case, there is another
problem. Usually for such strings, I would use the q{} syntax. As far as
I understand, the current proposal does not allow mixing those 2. Is
that correct? What would the syntax be anyways if we allow mixing those
2? iq{}?

Not being able to mix them would be very sad because this is the main
use case where I have wished for string interpolation in the past.
