I consider it abuse because it's not what they were invented for.
I consider discouraging it to be a good thing in order to reduce
the chances of people being bitten by, for instance:

>>> os.listdir(r"C:\")
  File "<stdin>", line 1
    os.listdir(r"C:\")
                     ^
SyntaxError: EOL while scanning single-quoted string

and getting all confused on this group.
