Hmm, then the question is, what should we do with single unescaped ':' if
it appears in pvcreate, vgcreate, e.g. "pvcreate /dev/a::b:c" -- the first
double one is OK, but what about the second single one? Should it be considered
as an input error then? (...probably giving the user a message like
"PE range definition not allowed here.")
