Given that:
functioncall ::=  prefixexp args | prefixexp `:´ Name args

In the latter case, is the rule "no line break between prefixexp and
args", or is it "no line break between Name and args"?
Personally, I often find myself using this style of indenting in some
situations:
factory_function(...)
  :modifier_method_1(...)
  :modifier_method_2(...)
  -- etc.

This places a newline between the prefixexp and the args, so if this
no longer works, it would cause me problems.
