OK I understand the problem : is a word break character in readline

So I type

Expe<TAB>

and it completes to

Expenses:

I then type in Food

which has just completions

Expenses:Food:Groceries

which replaced Food on the command line giving me

Expenses:Expenses:Food:Groceries

I can't work out how to remove ":" form the word break characters in readline.
