Windows path names are one of the two primary applications of raw strings (the other being regexes). IMHO the primary use case are regexps and for those you'd definitely want to be able to put Unicode characters into your expressions.

Except if sre_parse would recognize \u and \U escapes, just like it does now with \x escapes.
