Actually qualifiers that take only numeric arguments don't use the :args:
format, see for example u123 for files owned by user 123, or L1024 for
files 1k in size. I find I've forgotten how one specifies a device for
the (dDEV) qualifier, and the manual doesn't help, but that doesn't use
delimiters either. (Ah, it's device number.)
So I think Y42 is fine as it is.
