The other special case is with \u in a Unicode string:
>>> ur"\u0041"
u'A'
this isn't true for 3.0:
r"\u0041"
'\\u0041'
(there's no "u" because it's a string, not a bytes literal)
and as far as i can tell, that's correct behaviour according to the docs.
From the 3.0 docs "Even in a raw string, string quotes can be escaped
with a backslash, but the backslash remains in the string". Seems a bit
pointless to me. I would've preferred the backslash to have no special
behaviour at all. Simpler, IMHO...
