It's more a matter of parsing than philosophy... the parser must make
decisions about what is part of the field value so it can know where
it is in the grammar.

Examples where the field value is just "bar":
foo:bar^2
foo:bar~2
foo:bar baz

Now your particular case of ':' may be solvable, but the problem in
general is not.  One must escape special characters to avoid
ambiguity.
