The code seems to do this on purpose:
if (looking_at ("::"))
discard_until (":");
else
{ /* discard the node name */
get_until_in_line (0, ".", &string);
free (string);
}
input_text_offset++; /* discard the second colon or the period */
add_word (": ");
See that last add_word?
I don't remember why is it done so, but I'd suggest to be
extra-careful with changing that, especially in a bug-fix release.
