You should take a look at the source. ;)  In reality there are many 
filters that must be placed.  You can bet that I'm not as specific as to 
check for your exacting match, so ``<Esc>:[anything]'' should work 
unless [anything] begins with a ``.'' or a ``/''.  Let me know if you 
find a case that doesn't.

More specifically the : must be followed by a ``.'' or ``/'' to be 
considered a path list, among other filters.
