I am very happy that you think this is promising.
Changing the interface of every string in Python feels much too big for me.
I don't dare to think about it.
I have concerns that it could have negative impacts on parts which I am not
aware of.

The "t" prefix makes sense.
I would reduce it from ft'...' to t'...'. But it looks good. This is in the
"alternatives":

I am happy with backticks and/or t'...'. Backticks look a bit "cleaner" to
my eyes, but I
am fine with the "t" prefix, too.
