Have you ever used a command line application that --accepted --Boolean
--flags? Have you ever found one that required the flags to be in
order? You remember how much you hated that application for being so
arbitrary about the input?
That is exactly how I feel about the order mattering for string prefixes
in 2.7. 3.x got rid of that, and that is one of the few undeniably good
choices made in python 3.
for the love of all that is holy, don't un-fix that.

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.
Best,
