       Body:
Another option would be to issue a compiler warning (instead of a fatal error) 
if a trailing colon is missing.  Groovy's parser issues warnings like this, for 
example.  If you want that, I can work on implementing it.

Description:
Allow colons to be optional at the end of lines (like class, enum, interface 
statements, class properties, as well as if, for, and while statements).

I will attach the changes to boo.g necessary.

You still would have to use a colon if you have a class property that is 
followed by its own docstring, to distinguish it from fields with docstrings.
