Recently, I made a language that extends racket's string to formatted-string, with it one can write

```scheme
(define-values (a b c) (values 1 2 3))
"a = $a, b = $b, a+b+c = $(+ a b c)"

```

That is extremely cool. Thank you, Danny -- formatting strings in Racket can be a drag and this would make it a lot easier.
