[issue27364] Deprecate invalid unicode escape sequences

[Emanuel Barry]

Emanuel Barry added the comment:

Now I have! I found nothing on Python-Dev, but apparently it's been discussed on Python-ideas before: https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-ideas/2015-August/035031.html Guido hasn't participated in that discussion, and most of it was "This will break people's code", with people both for and against the idea, without an apparent consensus.

Should I try a second round on Python-ideas, to try and get a consensus (or a BDFL ruling)?
