I went ahead, and removed : from the syntax. It feels OK in my testing.
And I also made one optimization, which is important imho: 'journactl -b'
will still use the boot id from sd_id128_get_boot() to avoid searching
through the tables, and 'journalctl -b BOOT_ID[+-0]' will just
use BOOT_ID without searching through the tables. This should help
a lot when running with cold cache.
