Appearance of "::" in IDE

[vefatica]

Why, in IDE, does "::" look like a pair of italicized semicolons? That is, the two dots that comprise the symbol are not the same.
I don't really care if it's green and italicized, but couldn't it look like (um) a colon?

It looks better with another font.

Not reproducible here. What font are you using?

(Note that the color & italicization is a function of your schema, in this
case _bat.schclass, so if you don't like it you can redefine it.)

Because comments in general are green and italicized, and many people use a double colon to introduce a comment.

I know that. I was using Times New Roman, and with that font, an italicized
colon looks like a semicolon.

Sorry. I should have done a better job of reading, instead of answering a question you didn't ask.

If I remember correctly, a double colon :: introduces a regex in some
contexts.

I could never remember in which contexts this is true, though

You're right. It might make more sense to catch the double colon only at the start of a line. If you like, you can do this by changing line 160 of _bat.schclass from

previous:tag = @eol, ' ', '\t'

to

previous:tag = @eol
