Heh.  This will probably work if you use *four* backslashes.  The
first time it gets parsed, 'ONE\\\\' -> 'ONE\\', because each '\\'
sequence will reduce to a single '\'.  Then the second time it gets
parsed, the '\\' -> '\', which is what you want.

(Haven't tested it, but I've seen similar things in other places.)
