I was thinking of doing the same thing but with a space instead of a :. I can't think of any reason not to keep the backwards compatibility as long as we don't leave the confusing stuff in the documentation.

The problem with using a space is that it changes the number of arguments, and bin/newlist accepts additional optional positional arguments, so that would be a backwards incompatible change.
