I really like this option.  Anecdotally, it looks like *most* raw  
string users are really writing regex's.  Then, this option will do  
the right thing for 90%-95% of users, and the other 5%-10% of users  
will have a very simple way workaround.

As mentioned, none of us have actually bumped into the "R" prefix in  
use, so this won't effect existing code containing regular  
expressions.  It will effect existing code containing raw strings  
that aren't regular expressions, but these are in the minority.
