Traceback (most recent call last):
SyntaxError: invalid syntax. Is this intended to be part of the string?

* When strings have incompatible prefixes, the error now shows
which prefixes are incompatible. (Contributed by
Nikita Sobolev in :gh:`133197`.)

.. code-block:: pycon

>>> ub'abc'
File "<python-input-0>", line 1
ub'abc'
^^
SyntaxError: 'u' and 'b' prefixes are incompatible

* Improved error messages when using ``as`` with incompatible targets in:

- Imports: ``import ... as ...``
- From imports: ``from ... import ... as ...``
- Except handlers: ``except ... as ...``
- Pattern-match cases: ``case ... as ...``
