Thanks, I applied this to master, branch-2.5, and branch-2.4.

To distinguish "a" from "a:", we'd need to return something different in
the 'value' output parameter.  Probably, we'd need to return NULL for no
value, instead of "".  That would change the function interface, which
currently never returns NULL for the value.  I can see both advantages
and disadvantages to that change.  However, it would require an audit of
the callers to make sure that they can all tolerate NULL as an output
value.  I'd rather not do that in a bug fix patch, so I left it as-is.
