Actually it's easier than that...
I have a module where I need a colon in a lineinfile entry...
- name: search files then dns for hosts
lineinfile: 'backup=yes dest={{network_switch}} state=present
regexp="^hosts:" line="hosts: files dns"'
Not just one colon in that line but two...
I found that the double quoting was necessary, but there you go.
