-0 from me

Mainly because unlike b'..' or r'..' constructs, no meaning is
proposed for c'xyz'.

BTW, is it too soon to assign new meaning to back-quotes?  In py3k
they no longer stand for repr(), so we can probably reuse them for
ord()?  On the other hand, this is likely to be a bad idea for the
same reasons as syntax for repr() was.
