The explanation is honestly that the current approach is the most
straightforward for the implementation (it's pretty hard to intercept the
string literal before escapes have been processed) and nobody cares enough
about the edge cases to force the implementation to jump through more hoops.

I really don't think this discussion should be reopened. If you disagree,
please start a new thread on python-ideas. Everybody: please don't follow
up to python-dev.
