Description Peter Alexander 2011-09-26 11:55:32 UTC 
The lexical page: http://www.d-programming-language.org/lex.html

One example given for token strings is:

    q{ @ } // error, @ is not a valid D token

However, @ is clearly listed as a token in the grammar specification earlier on the same page. Also, DMD accepts q{ @ } as a valid string (with expected value " @ ").

This is a contradiction: either it is a valid token or it is not.

This was fixed.
