You misunderstand -- the order of string prefixes does *not* matter,
so forcing us to use one is silly.
I don't think so.
It's better to have less possibilities in the beginning. So later on, we
can easily relax the restrictions without breaking compatibility.

Please no. Having a memory much like a bottomless sieve I have no intention of reading
the manual every time I need to use string prefixes. Would the table listing
"string prefix precedence" in The Fine Docs™ be unique in the programming world?
Plus, it's too late for this. What would the manual say: "either br or rb is okay,
but you if you want fbr you can't spell it frb."? (Assuming we add binary f-strings.)
Let's just leave it as any order, and with any capitalization.
It was just for the protocol. The harm is already done. ;-)
Best,
Sven
