Intro
Template strings are a way to interpolate variables with strings. It's nice, and often more readable than traditional string concatenation
Tagged template strings take this behavior a bit further, and allow functions to be called as if they were strings - but instead the functions receive multiple strings, and a trailing array of positional arguments that the have been used for interpolation. This allows operating on the string and adding all sorts of interesting behavior.
Example
var css = require('sheetify')
// this is a static expression
`
.js-yellow { color: #f7df1e }
.bg-js-yellow { background-color: #f7df1e }
`
// this is a function call, which in this case has side effects
css`
.js-yellow { color: #f7df1e }
.bg-js-yellow { background-color: #f7df1e }
`Bug
It appears that standard@9 has introduced a regression where tagged template strings are now considered static expressions - even though they're functions. I think we should probably look into this.
