    The string inside of the {{ gets interpreted multiple times First by yaml.

    it is processed by both python and jinja2, the backslash escaped
    characters get unescaped twice.  This means that we'd normally have to use
    four backslashes to escape that.  This is painful for playbook authors as

    expression (The backslashes outside of the "{{ }}" only get processed by
