IMHO, ".." will separate both parts more than it will connect them.  "::",
on the other hand, is some kind of standard in the C++ world which might
therefore be more familiar for most people.  You'd have to apply some
simple changes to the Scanner's xColon and xLetter method to add support
for "::".

To make the syntax-minimalists happy, one could even treat "::" as a valid
binary message selector :-)
