If you evaluate:

'whatever' matchesRegex: ':'

it rises an error. if I escape the colon the error disappears, but is it  
right? I think it's a sort of coupling with method parsing.

':' is a special char because of character classes encoding ([:alnum:] as  
example.
So, you have to escape it ('\:').
I guess this is not an issue.
