no, the colons should not belong to the variable-name, so that

varname1:: value
or
varname::value

shall be:

variablename=varname1
variablevalue=value

but I get the variable value of varname1=": value" instead.




Blanks in varnames still don't work:

varname 1b::value1b
reference: NOTHING
(blanks in varnames => value is blank)
