Listening to event names containing a ':'

[btakita]

It seems like the compiler strips the part of the event name from ':' onward.

From the repl above:

<Nested on:event1=event1(event) on:event2:1=event21(event)/>

results in the output:

	nested.on("event1", function(event) {
		component.event1(event);
	});
	nested.on("event2", function(event) {
		component.event21(event);
	});

shouldn't this be a syntax error?

If we're going to do something like #1088, we're going to need some sort of rules about what characters can be in event names.

[btakita]

Could we allow a way to support literals in event names? Something like:

<Nested on:"event2:1"=event21(event)></Nested>

This seemed to be fixed on the latest svelte (3.12.1), repl

Indeed! @tanhauhau Thank you for checking. Hopefully there's an automated test for this.
