That's not quite it.  That seems to match all strings containing an 
ampersand followed by 2 other characters.  What I need is all strings 
that have duplicate characters following an & (&a in the above). 
Something a little more concrete:

["&File", "&Edit", "Vi&ew", "P&roject", "T&ree", "Favo&rites", "&Help"]

would return

["&Edit", "Vi&ew", "P&roject", "T&ree", "Favo&rites"]

(&e and &r are found multiple times).
