Yes, I like the meta-programming aspect, but I think it can be 
solved by overloading so that foo can be used for other symbols. 
Does the proposal allow for this?

For instance you could require that templated function

foo__string__interpolation__(…)(…){…}

will only be called if it prefixes foo`string`


Then you could have very short symbols as prefixes without 
wasting precious symbols.
