Template literals are unsupported for nested calls

The following is unsupported despite it being allowed by the type system:

chalk.bold`Hello, {cyan.inverse ${name}!} This is a test. {green ${exclamation}!}`;

Produces:

Hello, {cyan.inverse ,!} This is a test. {green ,!} Sindre Neat

Instead of:

Hello, Sindre! This is a test. Neat!

I agree, would be better to actually support that.

without performance hit

You cannot possibly assert this. There is no special function invocation for template literals aside from different argument types, so you’d have to do a branch (an if statement) in order to determine if you’re being called as a literal.

Branches are very much overhead, and can be quite detrimental in tight loops if gone unchecked.
