String raw()
The String.raw() static method is a tag function of template literals. This is similar to the r prefix in Python, or the @ prefix in C# for string literals. It's used to get the raw string form of template literals — that is, substitutions (e.g., ${foo}) are processed, but escape sequences (e.g., \n) are not.
