No, just static symbols will be enough. Not really interpreter 
but common day-to-day things like print some formatted stuff 
while keep it readable.

I know it is easy to do with string.format() but it'll add more 
commas, templates, mixins or all at once, which is without decent 
tools like Visual Assist for C++ doesn't really makes it better.

void printStuff()
{
int someInt = calcSmth();
string someName = getSmthDisplayName();
// ... do other things ...
writeln("Your item: {#someName} = {#someInt}");
}
