Yeah, that is pretty nice. Interpolation wasn't my main aim with what I was playing with here but it is an added plus that you get for free.
Actually I just realized the interpolation is not really what it seems, because you mostly won't have the values you want at read time.
Fail:
(let [x 1](qq this string is #=%28+ x x%29 times))
But it could be explicitly supported similar to Chas's macro...

Yep. Have you seen Chas Emerick's string interpolation macro? ... I don't have a link handy.
