I think we might be able to do something with flex "trailing contexts",
though I didn't manage to figure it out yet.
Generally it seems like using a ':' in maps might not be the best idea
after all, its used for too many other things already. This might be
the reason why I initially used =>, not sure anymore.
Is there a reasonable alternative to ':' with a single character?
