There's two thing I don't understand here:

\* What does it mean to preserve the string verbatim? No matter how I read it, I can't tell if it's with quotes or without.

Maybe I'm missing some context.

I believe the string passes through unchanged (i.e. no quotes). Think of the PEP as simply turning all non-string annotations into string ones.


​Ok, maybe that was just wishful thinking on my part ;-).
