   Am unsure about this PR. The reason why it exists is explained in issue, but 
in short, the "a:b:c" string is _usually implied_ to be GAV, but is also 
_overloaded_ in Maven as, while many times it _is_ GAV, sometimes is not, but 
muscle reflex will read it as GAV, and this will cause issues and derailment 
later on.
   
   Maybe all we need is "just" change the syntax in case of GAT to something 
else? Like `G:A:V` vs `G:A@T`? To make it visually apparent "is not GAV"?
