backslash followed by a newline is interpreted as those two characters
as part of the string, \emph{not} as a line continuation.
When an `r' or `R' prefix is used in conjunction with a `u' or `U'
prefix, then the \uXXXX escape sequence is processed while \emph{all other
backslashes are left in the string}. For example, the string literal
\code{ur"\u0062\n"} consists of three Unicode characters:
`LATIN SMALL LETTER B', `REVERSE SOLIDUS', and `LATIN SMALL LETTER N'.
Backslashes can be escaped with a preceding backslash; however, both
remain in the string. As a result, \uXXXX escape sequences are
only recognized when there are an odd number of backslashes.
