By the way, I don't think that fu'...' syntax should be allowed. IMHO
u'...' was only reintroduced to Python 3.3 to ease transition from Python 2

backward compatibility doesn't matter here.
There's another reason to resist the fu'...' prefix: political correctness.
To illustrate, there's a consumer rights TV snow here with a segment called
"F.U. Tube", where members of the public describe ripoffs and other product
failures in video form. While a phonetic play on the name "YouTube", the
abbreviation also colloquially means just what you think it might. I can just
imagine reciting one of these new strings out loud...
