If that were a binary f-string, those Cyrillic characters should still be legal (as they define an identifier, rather than ending up in the code). Would it confuse (a) humans, or (b) tools, to have these "texty bits" inside a byte string?
It would confuse the heck out of me. I leave it to the reader to decide whether I am a human or a tool. -- Steve
