The lexical grammar rules say that an EscapeSequence must be contained in a single or double quoted literal. The text still says that a bare escape sequence is a valid string. The current DMD compiler has deprecated bare escape sequences, so the spec text should be updated as well.

The "Hex Strings" section has a bare escape sequence that should be changed as well: The following are all equivalent: "ab" "c" r"ab" r"c" r"a" "bc" "a" ~ "b" ~ "c" \x61"bc"
