This is not implemented on Sequence because, at least for lists and
strings, I think users expect an eager result. Multiplying a string
should give you back a string, not a lazy sequence of repeated
characters.
This also mirrors "+" on strings and lists, which is eager. I like the
idea of having a general guideline that operators are eager.
Repetition is useful for arbitrary sequences, but for that maybe we
should add a "repeat()" method.
If we ever support custom string templates, we'll need to go back to
compiling them to functions. But, for now, they can be evaluated
eagerly, leading to simpler code.
This allows "%(...)" inside a string literal to interpolate the
stringified result of an expression.
It doesn't support custom interpolators or format strings, but we can
consider extending that later.
