No such syntax has been defined officially.
No backward compatibility issue.

What do you mean here in "official"? because AFAIK there has been no single
line of official syntax definitions so far.

Matz's book and official tutorial[1] mention about "then" but
not ":".  Is there any description about such colons?

At least O'Reilly's "Programming Language Ruby" has a detailed description
about it.  One of a Matz's book no wonder.

• File tLABEL.patch added
