Indeed the & is invalid URI character.
If we need to do the reverse transformation, then we must have a
character that is not a legal character for types in Java. That
excludes the underscore ("_"). Candidates are then narrowing down
quickly. Some Java operator that is a URI legal character???
+, =, ^, @ ?? Anything else?
We could also choose a non-ASCII Unicode character, which would then
be escaped somehow (according to some RFC)
