VBA: colon, the statement separator

In VBA, a statement is typically terminated at the end of a line (but see line continuation in VBA).

In order to have multiple statements on one line, they can be separated by a colon:

debug.print "foo" : debug.print "bar" : debug.print "baz"

The problem with the colon is that it is also used to define labels. Thus, the following probably does not do what the auther indended, because doSomething : will be interpreted as a label by the VB Editor's eagerness to lay out code.

sub doSomething
    …
end sub

sub main
    doSomething : doAnotherThing
end sub
