You mean: if the specified name contains a colon, check if that file
(including the colon and what follows it) exists, and if so, open
that file instead of trying to interpret the colon as a line-number
introducer?  And second, if the name stripped from colon plus trailing
digits does _not_ exist, then understand colon plus digits as part of
the file name, as it does not make sense to specify a line number for
a nonexistent file?
