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"
