+## Introducing format strings to the Meson language
+
+In addition to the conventional `'A string @0@ to be formatted @1@'.format(n, m)`
+method of formatting strings in the Meson DSL, there's now the additional
+`f'A string @n@ to be formatted @m@'` notation that provides a non-positional
+and clearer alternative. Meson's format strings are currently restricted to
+identity-expressions, meaning `f'format {'m' + 'e'}'` will not parse.
