## Reserved guards

r[lex.token.reserved-guards]

r[lex.token.reserved-guards.syntax]
> **<sup>Lexer 2024+</sup>**\
> RESERVED_GUARDED_STRING_LITERAL : `#`<sup>+</sup> [STRING_LITERAL]\
> RESERVED_POUNDS : `#`<sup>2..</sup>

r[lex.token.reserved-guards.intro]
The reserved guards are syntax reserved for future use, and will generate a compile error if used.

r[lex.token.reserved-guards.string-literal]
The *reserved guarded string literal* is a token of one or more `U+0023` (`#`) immediately followed by a [STRING_LITERAL].

r[lex.token.reserved-guards.pounds]
The *reserved pounds* is a token of two or more `U+0023` (`#`).

r[lex.token.reserved-guards.edition2024]
> **Edition differences**: Before the 2024 edition, reserved guards are accepted by the lexer and interpreted as multiple tokens. For example, the `#"foo"#` form is interpreted as three tokens. `##` is interpreted as two tokens.
