Agreed, but on the assumption that we're stuck with this convention
now, would it be possible to tighten up the pattern matching a bit? It
feels like the system should be able to tell the difference between

Just checking for a colon seems a bit broad. One of the mind-numbing
busywork tasks on my TODO list this morning is cleaning up some
scripts somebody checked in since I last fixed our iar. Their editor -
I think it's the Eclipse plugin - has helpfully added:
// LSL script generated:
