	Except that colons are how ISO writes it, eg `ISO/IEC 9945-1:1996(E)'
	is POSIX 1.  Not that it would really be confusing if we changed it...

I have concerns about the colons because I usually think of them as special
characters not appropriate for normal use.  However, trying out a few shells,
it seems that colons are OK for all of them, so we may as well stick with
them for now.
