The problem is that what everybody really wants is parameterization, not concatenation. But most solutions therefor are flaky even if they exist.

This looks like how React components are written if you make the weird choice of not using the JSX syntax extension for React elements. I wonder if you could make a JSX-like DSL with Rust macros. JSX really helps for making this kind of stuff bearable.
