boolean, defaults to false.

In loose mode, tagged template literal objects aren't frozen.

This option combines all template literal expressions and quasis with String.prototype.concat. It will handle cases with Symbol.toPrimitive correctly and throw correctly if template literal expression is a Symbol(). See babel/babel#5791.

"foo".concat(bar, "baz").concat(quux, 1);
