No problem, that was clear from the context. "Doubt" is such a weak form
of negation that many people miss that possible double negation. In
several languages (or even dialects) a double negation is a strong form
of negation.

The time line sounds very sane, and I'm with the parentheses. What I'm
wondering about are :foo and :foo:bar (which have no modifiers to
parse). I thought you meant to eat the ":" only in the former and not
the latter but I guess I was mistaken. Maybe we can make the ":" literal
when it can't be parsed, or make it do something (":/" as you
suggested), because swallowing it and then doing nothing seems doubly bad.
