Within the quotes, any character may appear except newline and unescaped single

of the character itself,
while multi-character sequences beginning with a backslash encode
values in various formats.

The simplest form represents the single character within the quotes;

<code>fmt.Printf</code> or <code>math/rand.Int</code>.
Because the assembler's parser treats period and slash as punctuation,
those strings cannot be used directly as identifier names.
Instead, the assembler allows the middle dot character U+00B7
and the division slash U+2215 in identifiers and rewrites them to
plain period and slash.
Within an assembler source file, the symbols above are written as
<code>fmt·Printf</code> and <code>math∕rand·Int</code>.
