String.substitute

Could we make the following possible, I can't seem to think of a way to do
it, since template literals are evaluated with the current scope, also
tried with `eval` but shouldn't even use that at all:
```JS
String.substitute( { year: 2015 }, `This year is ${year}` ); // Returns
"This year is 2015"
```
Yes I'm aware I could do the following:
```JS
var obj = { year:2015 }
`This year is ${obj.year}`
```
The point is to get rid of the part where I reference `obj` all the time.
I could just use destructuring:
```JS
var { year } = { year: 2015 }
`This year is ${year}`
```
So yes destructuring takes care of most of this just fine, but the point is
to have a template literal evaluate as a pass reference and not right away.
You can't make your own function and pass in a template literal that's not
evaluated when passed as a reference, I'm not sure if anyone will actually
want this but me. Please let me know. Thanks
