UCNs aren't valid in d-char-sequence though, only in normal strings and within
r-char-sequence.

raw-string:
      " d-char-sequenceopt [ r-char-sequenceopt ] d-char-sequenceopt "
r-char-sequence:
      r-char
      r-char-sequence r-char
r-char:
      any member of the source character set, except
             (1), a backslash \followed by a u or U, or
             (2), a right square bracket ] followed by the initial d-char-sequence
             (which may be empty) followed by a double quote ".
      universal-character-name
d-char-sequence:
      d-char
      d-char-sequence d-char
d-char:
      any member of the basic source character set except:
            space, the left square bracket [, the right square bracket ],
            and the control characters representing horizontal tab,
            vertical tab, form feed, and newline.
