parse_cadef/parse_caarg won't split the action at colons once the
first `:*pattern:' is encountered in a description, or for description
of normal/rest arguments (starting with `n:', `*:' or `:').
Should this be said en zshcompsys.1 ? I guess this means we can
write `:foo:((a\:bar b\:baz))' without needing to escape colons in
such cases (I didn't try).
