Sorry about that. I didn't test it because I'm on Windows and the ANSI
escape codes don't work.

Apparently the problem is that (foo)?bar:baz is parsed as (foo) ? bar
: baz (a trigraph) but (foo)?Bar:baz is trying to see :baz as a
symbol. I think this is a (minor) parser bug - it could easily be
parsed the same as (foo)?bar:baz.

Anyway, just replace all O,F,N with o,f,u respectively, and it works
like a charm. Seriously this time.

Cheers,
Dave
