Right, it is important to note that the f-strings are great for formatting
outputs and other strings in general, but don't work well with gettext. The
two following lines are not equivalent.

_("value: {a}").format(**locals())
_(f"value: {a}")

There are still valid use cases for f-strings in GRASS, but it won't be
messages.
