[issue36911] ast.parse outputs ast.Strs which do not differentiate between the ASCII codepoint 12 (literal new line) and the ASCII codepoints 134 and 156 ("\n")

There's a difference between round-tripping back to the source text and correctly representing the text in the source, though.

Since I'm using this module to perform static analysis of a Python module to retrieve class/function definitions and their docstrings to create API documentation, the string being the same as what it is in the file is important to me.
