+In each case, the `tt(:)' may instead be a `tt(.)'.  The rule is that
+if there is a `tt(:)' then the separator is `tt(:)', otherwise
+if there is a `tt(.)' then the separator is `tt(.)', otherwise
+there is no separator.

 Each of var(user) and var(group) may be either a username (or group name, as
 appropriate) or a decimal user ID (group ID).  Interpretation as a name
 takes precedence, if there is an all-numeric username (or group name).
