This isn't about me. As a heavy user of the 3.8 beta, I'm just the canary in the coal mine. After many encounters with these warnings, I'm starting to believe that Python's long-standing behavior was convenient for users. Effectively, "\-" wasn't an error, it was just a way of writing "\-". For the most part, that worked out fine. Sure, we all seen interactive prompt errors from having \t in a pathname but not in production (likely because a FileNotFoundError would surface immediately).
