It is illegal for a provisional subroutine call to be followed by a
colon postfix, since such a colon is allowed only on an indirect
object,
or a method call in dot form. (It is also allowed on a label when a
statement is expected.) ...
The last sentence there implies that a label can exist *without* a
colon.
