What exactly are you proposing to do differently than String.raw? https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/web/javascript/reference/global_objects/string/raw

This is something somehow bothering developers and tools, sooner or later, the need for a no-op template literal tag function that just returns the string as is. The current workaround to have highlights, proper content minification, etc, is the following one: ```js import css from 'dummy-tag'; import html from 'dummy-tag'; const style = css` body { color: green; } `; const node = html` <div>hello world</div> `; ``` but as irrelevant as the dummy-tag code is, in size, it's a dependency, and a function that can't get easily optimized, due the nature of the tag signature. ### Proposal Provide a static `Function.tag` which internally flattens out any template literal content. ```js const css = Function.tag; const html = Function.tag; const style = css` body { color: green; } `; const node = html` <div>hello world</div> `; ``` Internally it will place eventual interpolations within template chunks, and return a string. ```js Function.tag`1${2}3` === '123'; ``` That's it. Thoughts? Best Regards
