That is exactly what I mean by error-prone.

But more importantly, as 5618 said, you would break scripts.

Since /ab:cd is a valid command, the following could be interpreted in two ways:

on *:TEXT:*:#:15:echo -a hi

/echo -a hi or /15:echo -a hi. Both are valid, and "name:" is a reasonable alias prefix to the point where I'll bet there's at least a few scripts out there using that naming convention. The drawback is possible broken scripts and the gain is purely aesthetic.
