I wasn't complaining about how shapes are named. Let's assume I chose those
shape names myself even.

A colon is not enough of a differentiation. Colons occur naturally in runs of
text.

... which is why a delimiting character is not good enough, hence this bug.
(Caveat: Some extremely-rare character combination could theoretically work,
but probably not a good idea.)

That would be a separate bug... but see also my bug 151692.
