Comment:

 I like the idea, but not the separator thing. Programming history is
 packed with failed string separators, like the space on a command line,
 commas, semicolons and so on. Such will some day create the need for
 quoting and we will always have to parse the string. Soon we have to
 {{{
 add_action( '"some_colon:action":"pre:fix"', array() )
 }}}
 To avoid that, introduce
 {{{
 wp_add_action( $name, $object, $function, $prefix )
 }}}
 as an alias and then deprecate add_action in the long run.
