This wouldn't be the first "overload" of C++ template looking things.
C++'s "new style casts" do so, but I think the "analogy" is there.
Here, it would just be because the parsing would be easy.
I wonder what kind of confusion that would case.
Perhaps something such as :label strictly in these contexts
might be better, but then, that would probbaly cause confusion too :-(
Perhaps (but perhaps not) there is some other extra character (or combo)
(since you like C++-ish syntax, perhaps ::? ;-}).
