Well, I don't know about the wild, but there are several other
extensions just in the core that have custom targets with no space
between the target name and colon, so I'm afraid we need nicetext
back, at least on VMS, and we'll just have to tune up the regex so
that

foo: bar "baz: buz"

becomes

foo : bar "baz: buz"

rather than

foo : bar "baz : buz"

thus leaving YAML as it should be.

Again, sorry not to have spotted this before you went to the trouble
of a new release.
