Oh, it is an _allowed_ operator symbol combination, if someone were to
define an operator using it. But it isn't pre-defined anywhere, is it?
And, it should be OK to require spaces to help delimit your embedded
stuff; that is, "=:" is interpreted as a possible operator, while "= :"
(with space) is "equals embedded variable"...
I'd hate to keep removing single characters from the allowed operator
character set when we get syntax conflicts like this. We'll end up with
only the SQL92-allowed operator symbols before long :)
