They have even removed the backticks in the Python2 ->  Python3 transition partially because of this (and partially because there is a more obvious way to do it in Python, and Python tries to keep only one obvious way to do things).

Python's `xyz` is equivalent to repr(xyz). I think it is removed in 
Python 3 more because `...` is not worth the specialness as repr(). But 
D's `...` is much more worthy as a convenient literal syntax when 
involving '"' or '\'.

(I know some keyboard doesn't have '[' and ']'. So having no '`' 
shouldn't be the reason it is removed from the language.)
