The string "\t" gets shown in the repr as "\t". It is a string

SMALL LETTER T. That might be why you think there's confusing stuff
happening :)
Oh, and the other trap you can fall into is the reverse of that:
"worl\d"
'worl\\d'
This one actually triggers a warning in sufficiently-recent Pythons:
Fair point, but you're going off at a tangent. I just stuck a backslash
on a random letter to see which string tokens were/were not being
treated as "raw" by the parser. Next time I'll use \v or something.
You're focusing on something that is beside the point I'm trying to make ;)
