I think the simple fact that it makes
highlighting/completion/indentation more complex (not to mention the
potential to have format-strings within format-strings within...) is
a good hint that you don't want to encourage writing code within the
format string: it works fine for very simple pieces of code, but for
anything more significant you're better off writing the code outside the
string (and then referring to that code from the string).
