[Python-Dev] Emit SyntaxWarning on unrecognized backslash escapes?

[Guido van Rossum]

TBH I think this will be a tough sell. I worry that an meme will emerge to
make all string literals use raw mode, or worse, to deprecate non-raw
string literals. I'm not sure how we'll get out of the whole conundrum, and
I'm not in a hurry to see this in 3.5.
