Here's a little puzzle pertaining to filenames.

If I type

cat > one-two one ^D cat one-two

I will, of course, see `one' displayed. But suppose the file is named one/two, not one-two. (And no, I really don't want a `two' file within a `one' directory.) How can I repeat this ceremony? Or can I?

I don't think this is possible. Even escaping it doesn't work. This is probably to avoid confusion and ambiguity in filenames. I tried looking in the kernel docs for confirmation, but couldn't see anything related to ext2, so unless I was to go poking around the source, I couldn't say for sure. Of course, if anyone else has got this to work, I would be interested in hearing about it as well...
