Is equivalent to:

"pr\\efix"

Identifier1

3.2

"suffix"



So you would get ``pr\efix`` as the string value. As the standard rules 
of double quoted strings would apply in that subset of the i-string.

Both: ``"p\ns"`` and ``i"p\ns"`` is the same thing, ignoring the extra 
expansion of types/values of i-string's.
