digitalmars.D.learn - exercise - find invalid D tokens (Impossible ?)

Here are the specifications of token strings:

"Token strings open with the characters q{ and close with the 
token }. In between must be valid D tokens. The { and }"

So we can deduce that any invalid D token inside a token string 
will lead to a compilation error. Indeed:

void main()
{

}

produces an error.

So are you able to find more invalid token ?

Yes and many others. Since I've posted this message I've realized that actually there are much invalid tokens. Any character that's not an Universal Alpha and that's not in a string prevents compilation. A complete list is at page 451 in http://www.open-std.org/JTC1/SC22/WG14/www/docs/n1124.pdf
