Talon captures do not permit colons in their docstring descriptions.

The bug: When attempting to modify prose_number_with_colon capture to include an example, discovered that the desc abruptly terminates on a colon.

When I changed the docstring for the following capture in dictation.py:

@mod.capture(rule="numeral <user.number_string> colon <user.number_string>")
def prose_number_with_colon(m) -> str:
    "Writes a number as a time.  For example, 'eight colon thirty' becomes 8:30"
    return m.number_string_1 + ":" + m.number_string_2

I discovered that you can't use colons in your docstrings.

To reproduce in the Talon repl:

>>> registry.decls.captures["user.prose_number_with_colon"].desc
"Writes a number as a time.  For example, 'eight colon thirty' becomes 8"

As you can see, it cuts off at the colon.

just fixed this in the rust beta - I am not doing any pre-parsing on the docstring now. I may do some kind of parsing in the future.
