No -- I actually want it to be called blah:booh.

Making sure group names always have a colon in them is important in
cells that have supergroups enabled; otherwise it's hard to tell what
the output of "pts mem" actually means (ie when you need to invoke "pts
mem" a second time to drill down into a nested group).

I see.  Is it official AFS policy that this usage is supported?
