2.2.4: Parsing "symbol:%w(word)" gives SyntaxError

Description

This snippet does not parse correctly, only in ruby 2.2.4: {a:%w(a)}
Adding a space after the "a:" works.

irb(main):001:0> RUBY_VERSION
=> "2.2.4"
irb(main):002:0> {a:%w(a)}
SyntaxError: (irb):2: syntax error, unexpected '%'
{a:%w(a)}
    ^
(irb):2: syntax error, unexpected '}', expecting end-of-input
	from /Users/allen/.rbenv/versions/2.2.4/bin/irb:11:in `<main>'
irb(main):003:0> {a: %w(a)}
=> {:a=>["a"]}

This works (without the space) in 2.2.3 and 2.3.0

Work-around: add the space after the colon.

My search failed to find an existing issue, but hope this isn't a repeat.

Thanks!
