This behavior is useful when debugging: if an escape sequence is mistyped, the resulting output is more easily recognized as broken.

Wow, this sentence really threw me for a moment. I had no idea how other programming languages behave.

...which makes sense, because they don't. The compiler just tells you to fuck off and that's the end of that story. I guess, they can't do that in Python...
