Thank you to everyone who responded, it is now clear to me that this
genuinely is a feature, not a bug or limitation of the parser or lexer.
And that there is code relying on that behaviour, including in the
stdlib, so we shouldn't change it even if we could.

You first need to define what is the end of a string. And I think it is
not relevant to the grammar parser.

I think this is a more limited proposal, to only change the behavior
when \ is at the end of a string, so the only behavior difference would
never

Personally I'd expect these two lines to do the same thing, whatever that
thing is:
path = 'C:\'
path = ('C:\')

That PR seems to make \' and \" not special in general right?
I think this is a more limited proposal, to only change the behavior when \
is at the end of a string, so the only behavior difference would never
receiving the error "SyntaxError: EOL while scanning string literal"

Now that we have a new parser for CPython, can we fix the old gotcha
that raw strings cannot end in a backslash?
Its an FAQ and has come up again on the bug tracker.
