So - all those colons didn't get the knickers in a twist?  :-)

I guess :*: and :+: don't appear much in IP6 addresses - or, if they
do, then whatever follows it until the next colon doesn't map
to a preexisting variable.

That's one bug in the syntax; I wrote CRM114's expansion syntax
fifteen years ago and had no idea about IPV6.  Then again, RFC
2460 only came out in 1998 which was about the same time.

That's good to know.  :)
