I would like {var} to report the variable.
For example,
set [my name v] to (han)
say [Hi, {my name}!]
Would say “Hi, han!”
Well, what if you want to type with {} in a say block withOUT it being a variable?
Type
say [Hi, \{han\}]
And it will say “Hi, {han}”
EDIT: does this fall under 2.2 of TOLORS?
Here’s the quote:

2.2 Text-based syntax in Scratch
Some users wish to code Scratch not with the blocks, but with typing code instead (similar to how more advanced programming languages work). Others are interested in an option to view, convert, or download Scratch code to other programming languages. However, the Scratch Team has discussed this possibility multiple times and has decided every time that it would not be beneficial for beginners or teachers.
This suggestion extends to coding, viewing, converting, or downloading Scratch in any text-based language, including BBCode, Javascript, some form of pseudocode, or some other programming language. If you wish to code using another language, then you can learn it on your own, but it would have to be done outside of Scratch. For those who are interested, it may be worth checking out Tosh. It is a text-based programming language that serves as a text editor for Scratch projects.
Za-Chary is not sure if this is rejected.

Interesting, but I think there could be a better escaping system. Backslashes.
say [Hi, \\{han\\}] // Hi, {han}This is an account that exists.

I would say any text based scratch features are rejected.
All suggestions are unnecessary. If a suggestion is necessary then it's a bug report.

One backslash. Trust the block, not the source. To escape backslashes, do this:Interesting, but I think there could be a better escaping system. Backslashes.Did you mean to do one or two backslashes each? Because I see your source has two, but the block has one…say [Hi, \\{han\\}] // Hi, {han}

set [!xyz v] to (25)A syntax like this would be better:
say [{!xyz}]
set [xyz v] to (25)Anyways, support. This would be very convienient and make code more readable. Ex:
say [\\{xyz}]
say (join (number 1) (join [+] (join (number2) (join [=] (number3)))))Sorry for the /scratchblocks, the tag doesn't close…
[/scratchblocks]
vs.
say [{number 1}+{number2}={number3}]Way more readable.Signatures are the only place where assets links still work.

While this is an interesting idea, I don't support. This may be confusing to new Scratchers, and Scratch uses different blocks for different things rather than text. Plus, this is easily workaroundable:
set [myName v] to [Reev]
say (join [Hi, ] (myName))

No support. Not only will this be confusing to new scratchers that see this inside a project, I would also consider this rejected – it still uses text-based syntax and doesn't fit well with the rest of Scratch.

Support, this would be convenient, as this
([hi, {foo}, how are you?])Is easier than this:(join (join [hi,] (foo)) [, how are you?])

No support, this would defeat the purpose of the join block. Also, it's possible to name a variable as a built-in variable in Scratch, so this could be ambiguous.

CLARIFICATION: THIS WOULD ONLY WORK FOR USER MADE VARIABLES.

This?:that's literally the same as it is now but with an extra block. You still have to use a join block and a reporter!say (join [Hello, ](getvar[Name]::Variables Reporter)

Maybe it should be its own separate operators block, but I'm not sure what it should be called.

I think a custom reporter will be better:
say (formatted text [something {foo} {bar}] :: operators)If you see a line above this text, it means that below this text is my signature.

I guess I'm an ATer now.
I think I may have seasoned my posts a bit too much.
