 "A developer (or code reviewer) familiar with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, who
 knows that contextual autoescaping happens should be able to look at a {{.}}

+As a consequence of the Least Surprise Property, template actions within an
+ECMAScript 6 template literal are disabled by default.
+Handling string interpolation within these literals is rather complex resulting
+in no clear safe way to support it.
+To re-enable template actions within ECMAScript 6 template literals, use the
