2. Let's call them "format strings" not "f-strings".
The latter sounds slightly obnoxious, and also inconsistent with the
others:
r'' raw string
u'' unicode object (string)
f'' format string
People seem to have already started using f-strings. I think it's
inevitable.
Sure, there's no way to ban it, that would be silly. But, I think the
documentation should not use it.
We don't normally say "r-strings" or "u-strings" when talking about them, it's
not very accurate. The letter they use isn't their important quality.
Also, avoiding the f- takes the spotlight off the part where f stands for words
besides format. ;)
