fn (lit &StringInterLiteral) get_fspec_braces(i int) (string, bool)

Expressions in string interpolations may have to be put in braces if they are non-trivial, if they would interfere with the next character or if a format specification is given. In the latter case the format specifier must be appended, separated by a colon: '$z $z.b $z.c.x ${x[4]} ${z:8.3f} ${a:-20} ${a>b+2}' This method creates the format specifier (including the colon) or an empty string if none is needed and also returns (as bool) if the expression must be enclosed in braces.
