Comment (by sbrandt):
Quoted strings are widely used in the ET. Even making it a warning to use them will generate a ton of output.
I wasn't introducing ":", that was already supported and used. See, for example, ADMMass, CartGrid3D, etc.
Good point about the "::". That has to be avoided. However, it seems it was caught earlier on. The match never sees it.
The regex doesn't need to handle a single star or number, because that's also handled by code prior to this line.
I think we can make this an error instead of a warning. The ET passes with the above expression.
