Description
We need to design a mechanism to implicitly/explicitly convert primitives and declared types to str.
One of the use cases should be in string interpolation. For example:
let x = 1;
let s = "${x}";
Once we add that mechanism to the spec, we should add a spec-impl issue to the roadmap.

Research direction
Start with the issue's proposed primitive and declared-type conversions and the string interpolation example. No implementation files or tests are identified, so first determine where the language specification defines strings and interpolation. Done means the conversion mechanism is specified and a spec-impl issue is added to the linked roadmap.
