Yes, we should settle on one form or the other.  \: creates a
"breakpoint" without hyphenation, so that

a really long line without any sense where at the end we can find little/nothing

might become

a really long line without any sense where at the end we can find little/-
nothing

whereas

a really long line without any sense where at the end we can find little/\:nothing

might become

a really long line without any sense where at the end we can find little/
nothing

So yes, it would make sense to add \: in most places.  I'm feeling
somewhat lazy, though, so somebody else grab for his emacs macros ;-)
