Actually, I kind of disagree. I mean, ":" certainly might be useful as a
significant character in tags, but is that really an option we want to
keep open? We've been thinking that there aren't going to be that many
new features added to Haml in the future, particularly ones that add to
the complexity of the syntax (even more particularly the already-complex
tag syntax). I find myself feeling that unless someone can come up with
something that Haml can't express elegantly right now, that would be
best expressed using the colon in some way that would be ambiguous with
having it in a class, and that's pervasive enough to warrant new syntax,
we should go ahead and allow colons in class names.
