Still, there should be something with a closing token.
Try to imagine three of these in a chain, if the syntax is a colon:
name1:name2:name3:name4 -> which could mean either of:
name1:(name2:(name3:name4)), (name1:name2):(name3.name4)
and so on - (not to mention other expressions involving names, though these
would be less ambiguous due to to operator precedence.
