A magic with that meaning may be fine (or may be not---I don't care too
much about "because we could" at this point), but if you are going to use
':' as the magic introducer, you cannot use ':' as one of the magic
signatures, as it would make it ambiguous when you said '::'.  Did you
write a long-form with 0 spelled-out magic (perhaps to defeat some other
future settings like --option or config)?  Or did you mean that magic
signature?
