If the arguments in the last post are not strong enough, I think
it will be too hard to make it more strong. In my eyes
benefits in this case outweigh the downsides clearly.
And anyway, since I can use f-string now to input it,
probably one can just relax now.
And this:
f"{65:c}{66:c}{66:c}" ,
looks actually significantly better then:
"\d{65}\d{66}\d{67}",
And it covers the cases I was addressing with the proposal.
I am happy. +1000 to developers, even if this is an "accidental" feature .
