Yes, I'd like the feature because it's a pain in the neck to go through and escape strings when I know there's a better way.
Also sometimes it doesn't feel right to escape strings... for instance in function doc strings I'd like to give an example return value. But if the value has to be escaped to play nice with the docstring it can get confusing confusing... for me at least. I'd like to put *exactly* what will be returned.
