Hey,

I encountered an interesting bug when trying to do string parsing using f-strings. I am currently under the impression that within the curly braces is any expression that can be successfully evaluated in a REPL. Here's the error:

```bash
yingw787@yingw787-Oryx-Pro:~/src/gpudb-dev-v6.2.0/kio/kio/tests/regression/_data/csv$ python
Python 3.7.5 (default, Oct 15 2019, 21:38:37) 
[GCC 5.4.0 20160609] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> blah = '"hi"'
>>> blah
'"hi"'
>>> f'{blah.strip('"')}'
  File "<stdin>", line 1
    f'{blah.strip('"')}'
                       ^
SyntaxError: EOL while scanning string literal
>>> '{0}'.format(blah.strip('"'))
'hi'
>>> 
```

I can use '.format()' for now, but it might be nice to align f-string expr behavior w/ .format(). Please let me know if you need more reproduction steps, or if you need a helping hand :)

Thanks
Ying
