Nope, does not work. The backslashes are still doubled (i.e. not understood
as
one backslash).
I had another idea, which could save Oleg's (and/or my :) TeX sanity:
How about
@set backslash \
and then using @value{backslash} in the actual argument?
Or
@macro backslash
\\
@end macro
and then @backslash{}?
Do either of those work?
Or we could define a new command @backslash{} similar to @comma{}.
Sorry for the hassle,
