What if some component of the pathname has a ':' in it? For instance:

    <ip6 address>:/share/foo:bar/baz/

Personally, I'd rather see us deprecate the "nfs syntax". I don't see
that that provides us any value. We've never documented that it was
supported, so maybe a patch to warn for a couple of releases when
someone uses it and then rip it out?
