Strange, I was sure it used to at least reference that in the syntax synopsis. I.e., that it used to say optspec optspec:optarg where now it says optspec optspec:... However, the colon is considered part of the optarg, and it doesn't look very nice to write optspec optspecoptarg so this probably got edited a long time ago and the lost forward reference was just never fixed.
