[issue23894] lib2to3 doesn't recognize rb'...' as a raw byte string in Python 3

[Serhiy Storchaka]

Serhiy Storchaka added the comment:

Should it?

>>> rb'abc'
  File "<stdin>", line 1
    rb'abc'
          ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

According to https://docs.python.org/2/reference/lexical_analysis.html#string-literals "rb" is not valid string prefix.
