  Let's try rewriting that paragraph with a few grammatical fixes:

"I wondered that as well.  I think that in the interests of simplicity 
though it would be better to reuse an existing switch if possible.  You 
could make the code quite intelligent - if multiple colons are detected
in the switch's argument then it could try all possible permutations of
colon-as-file-name-separator and colon-as-symbol-character and only 
report an error if there is more than one valid solution."

  There - that's better.

Cheers
  Nick
