It is customary to attribute quotes to their source.  This is from 2.x 
Lib/idlelib/PyParse.py.  The file was committed (and probably written) 
by David Scherer 2000-08-15.  Edits for unicode, including the above, 
were committed (and perhaps written) by Kurt B. Kaiser on 2001-07-13.

I doubt GvR ever saw this code.  I expect KBK has changed opinions with 
respect to unicode in 13 years, as has most everyone else.
