Yea, this is by design, but I think it makes more sense to only allow this in string contexts by default.

I'm just a noob, but what's the usefulness of it in Python? I haven't found this syntax in my study material. Since there are other ways to escape a ", maybe it would be useful to have a variable to control this kind of behavior.
