Suggested Changes

Reading the docs at face value, I would consider it a bug that the example

const useless = `I am a useless template literal that could be converted to an ordinary string`;

is not flagged by no-useless-template-literal. (If it actually should be flagged, feel free to convert this to a bug!)

The way I understand it though, the rule as-is is really going after useless template interpolations. I think this strongly needs clarification in the docs.

Furthermore, I think that the quotes rule (https://typescript-eslint.io/rules/quotes/), which can be used to prohibit useless template literals, and the no-useless-template-literal rule docs ought to contain links to each other to help a user figure out which one to use, depending on what the goal is. (I'm currently setting this up at my day job and getting confused over which one to use 😆)
