Also, the discussion has assumed that if this feature were added it necessarily must be a single character prefix. Looking at the grammar, I don't see that as a requirement as it explicitly defines multiple character sequences. A syntax like:
format'a{b}c' formatted"""a{b} c"""
might be more readable. There's no namespace conflict just as there is no conflict between raw string literals and a variable named r.
I'd really like to be able to write fr"C:\{dir}\{filename}" at times (those rare times when I'm not using pathlib, admittedly), though there's no reason to need to combine f with u (a no-op) or b (no bytes.format). Cheers, Steve
