#110: should support `obj.meth:val1, with:val2' syntax

 Priority:  blocker                |   Milestone:  MacRuby 0.3          
Component:  MacRuby                |    Keywords:                       
-----------------------------------+----------------------------------------
 MacRuby should support the following syntax

   obj.meth:v1, with:v2

 As an alternative to

   obj.meth v1, with:v2

 Calling `obj.meth:v1, with:v2' right now will pass :v1 (the :v1 symbol and
 not v1) and v2 as parameters, which is expected, but some Objective-C
 developers may fall into the trap, because this is very similar to the
 Objective-C way:

   [obj meth:v1 with:v2]

 Objective-C developers will also probably prefer this syntax because it
 reveals the real selector that is being sent.
