> If we were to set MatchingParen correctly to match up "${" to "}", we could measure the respective length and at a very early state (mustBreak()) decide that we need a line break between "${" and the corresponding "}". Now setting that correctly might be hard. Maybe it is ok, to linearly scan in that case as we would only do that if we actually find a template string ending in "${" and the distance to the "}" is usually short.
I cannot decide whether I must break in `mustBreak` - I need to just force wrapping after `${` if I need to wrap somewhere below, but if the code fits on the line, I don't want to wrap. So when I'm visiting `${` I cannot decide that, and when I'm at the object literal expression, the decision for `${` has already been made - right? Or am I missing something?
