Yes, for at least two reasons:
Unsafe string-munging is too easy and seductive. Doing things the safe/secure way needs to be at least as easy.
And it makes for a growable language, the way Lisp macros do. E.g. https://github.com/erights/quasiParserGenerator
This can reduce the demand for feature bloat in future language standards.
