[Python-Dev] Should PEP 498 specify if rf'...' is valid? (original) (raw)

Sometimes order matters, and sometimes it does not. If the order does not have an impact on the final code, it does not matter, and making us have to remember an order that does not matter is a waste. Order that matters? You must be kidding. That would turn different types of string extremely hard to understand because semantics differ. That is, btw., one reason, why I favor a fixed order (alphabetically or something). Easy to remember and no way to misinterpret it. Well if the order is not important and all permutations are allowed then, at least those permutations can be used as an alphabet to build a hidden channel over it :-)
