However, I understand the other reason (inclusion of non-ASCII characters in raw strings) and I reluctantly agree with it.

I actually disagree with that. It is fairly easy to include non-ASCII characters in a raw Unicode string - just type them in. Or, if that fails, use string concatenation with a non-raw string:

r"foo\uhallo" "\u20ac" r"welt"
