                        Consider removing uses of colon in Checked C syntax
We have introduced new keywords beginning with _ for the Checked C bounds annotations and where clauses, as part of creating erasable syntax.   We no longer need the colon (:) to declare bounds declarations and where clauses from in declarations - there is not a potential for collisions.  We should consider changing the Checked C syntax to no longer require the colon.
If we do this, we need to:
- update tests to remove the use of the ':' and to use the new keywords.
 - update the syntax descriptions on the Wiki and in the spec to deprecate usage of the 
:. - update the 3C tools and various real-world codebases.  These include:
