"\&" causes lots of trouble, including difficulty specifying certain
resulting strings.
Previously I proposed a scheme using &$@ but this is only useful to
provide a way to write &s.
The $-doubling regime which will come later wants a way to produce a
single literal $, so introduce that now using the same syntax.
And &\ feels quite natural to me.
Incompatible change.
