It's not possible when writing code normally. However, some people have done it 
using POKE or other similar means, because I remember that LIST on BASIC 
programmes of the CHROMASETTE series would behave really weird, printing lots of 
tokens within DATA statements and/or string literals, and sometimes even 
crashing (not sure the BREAK key even worked at that point). All the while, the 
program would run correctly, otherwise it would have never been published like 
that. I may still have some of them on disk somewhere.
