Jul 23, 2017 at 19:53 comment added ameketa @EricDuminil nice! I thought all the single character operators were quoted in the error message, but you're right: & isn't. Neat! Also, good find with the hex escape. I was struggling to find a shorter and non-stack-trace fatal error message other than a syntax error.
