I think you're effectively doing the same thing that I'm doing by having 
my prompt start with '#', thus turning copy & paste ""errors into 
pasting comments.  Just a difference of a '#' comment character and a 
':' label.

I see little difference between ':' and '#' in this case.

Please help me understand if I'm wrong.
