I don't get the point. I have always had a "sql" directory in my project with named `.sql` files for all my queries. Then just load them up with a `require.extensions["sql"]` override, or another mechanism. You should be using sql parameters anyway, formatting/interpolation shouldn't even be a consideration.

Plus, keeping queries in their own files makes the change history nicer.

There are even helper libraries to make keeping your SQL separate and executing it safely easy. I use yesql (https://github.com/krisajenkins/yesql) in Clojure, and a quick google shows that sqlt (https://github.com/eugeneware/sqlt) exists for the same purpose in javascript.
