New submission from Stephen Paul Chappell: In the string module, the definition of whitespace is ' \t\n\r\v\f'. However, the representation of string.whitespace is ' \t\n\r\x0b\x0c'. Would it be terribly inconvenient to change the representation of '\x0b\x0c' to '\v\f'? The documentation at https://docs.python.org/3.4/reference/lexical_analysis.html#string-and-bytes-literals lists recognized escape sequences, but string represetations seem to diverge slightly from what is recognized. The same "problem" exists with the representation of bytes.
