      • Lifting template literal restriction S4

      Proposal details
      Proposal overview

      This proposal aims to lift the restriction on escape sequences in template literals, allowing invalid escapes to be used in tagged templates without causing a SyntaxError. It changes the interpretation so that tagged templates receive raw strings, including invalid escape sequences, enabling more flexible use cases.
