The doc string is also bad wrt PROMPT.  It correctly says that it should not end
in a space, but it should also say that it should not end in a colon.

In fact, it would be far more understandable if it said (as I think we say
elsewhere for such silly prompt handling) that ": " will automatically be
appended to PROMPT.  That tells you the reason and everything you need to know.
