Please consider an other character, other than the colon. Someone already  
made a mistake when inventing resend.thisAndThat so that the compiler (and  
the user) has to disambiguate the syntax, like in, example.doThisAndThat.

In Smalltalk colons belong to arguments and keywords, not to namespace  
expressions. Remember the white space problem with the minus sign / minus  
binary selector?

Besides of that, here's my +1

P.S. IMO it's overdue that · – — … and friends  
make their way into regular syntax diagrams and parsers,
