Hey Orson,

The colons are required to prevent symbol name clashes in the cache
library.  I had to prefix the library nickname to the symbol name to
prevent symbols from being overwritten when they exist in more than on
library.  In other words, cache library symbol names look just like
LIB_IDs using the LIB_NICKNAME:SYMBOL_NAME format.

Cheers,

Wayne
