Many thanks to everyone for enlightening. Now i can see the reasons
behind "no odd number of trailing backslashes" decision.
Maybe they deserve to be appended to FAQ section on raw strings?
Interestingly, C# did it the other way. Trailing backslashes in
verbatim (raw) strings are allowed, but quotes are not:
@"\" // ok
@"\"" // error, unterminated string literal
For me, personally, trailing backslashes aren't as important as quotes.
Python wins again :)
