You misunderstand -- the order of string prefixes does not matter, so forcing us to use one is silly. I don't think so. It's better to have less possibilities in the beginning. So later on, we can easily relax the restrictions without breaking compatibility. Best, Sven

Please no. Having a memory much like a bottomless sieve I have no intention of reading the manual every time I need to use string prefixes. Would the table listing "string prefix precedence" in The Fine Docs™ be unique in the programming world?

-- My fellow Pythonistas, ask not what our language can do for you, ask what you can do for our language.
