Thanks. I think that is probably a sensible thing to do. The use of "%s:" (or "%s") is necessitated by the use of status_printf_ln() in

    status_printf_ln(s, c, "%s", what);

and if we had status_puts() instead, we wouldn't be having this discussion, as the line would have been

    status_puts(s, c, what);

and it is obvious that "what" (aka "label heading") wants to have colon after it.
