> Does b"foo" really make much of a difference?
Yes. My guess is that if you leave it out, you'll see
var = u"foo".encode("ASCII")
all over the place (assuming that encode() will produce a bytes type).
Wouldn't b"foo" be more readable all around?

No, that's true. But if you have a bytes literal syntax, might as
well allow \x in it.
