[issue40246] Different error messages for same error - invalid string prefixes

[Lysandros Nikolaou]

Lysandros Nikolaou <lisandrosnik at gmail.com> added the comment:

A possible solution would be to only emit a SyntaxError if the NAME directly preceding a STRING token contains one of the valid string prefixes (either one of 'f', 'r', 'u', 'b'). This would still output a nicer error message, but would not break code like the one of the example. What do you think about this?
