D allows this:

void main()
{
  string s1 = "\&";
  string s2 = "\141";

  assert(s1 == "&");
  assert(s2 == "a");
}

But parse doesn't allow it (not supported in parse escape).
//----
void main()
{
  string s1 =
  `[
    "\&",
    "\141"
  ]`;
  writeln(parse!(string[])(s1));
}
//----
Can't parse string: Unknown escape character &
Can't parse string: Unknown escape character 1
