[SciPy-Dev] F strings in codebase?

[Terry]

We could start using git's blame.ignoreRevsFile, which would hide the code
churn*.

*only on the client side until github supports this feature.
If you want to push github to add this feature, reference this gitlab issue:
https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/31423

see: https://github.com/ipython/ipython/pull/12091/files
