In http://dlang.org/spec/lex.html:
>Byte value in octal.
>For example: \775 represents the character with the value 509.
509 cannot be byte as byte means (signed) 8-bit value...
Possibility_1:
"Unicode character in octal.
For example \775 represents the Unicode character which code is (decimally) 509."
Possibility_2:
"ubyte value in octal."
\775 is not allowed (gives an error). The maximum octal number allowed is 377 (decimally 255).
(More cases may be possible.)
