It is not really necessary (because the regexp does not check anything 
before). However, any source code that prints out the command will need to 
escape the \ as \\, thus there will be two backslashes. Of course, the regexp 
([\\:]) would still match, since we don't match the character before. Still, 
it can be useful to leave the "+" in, just in case one copies the expression 
for some other rule and adds a check for characters before the command.

Cheers,
Reinhold
