The earliest versions of HTCondor used a colon (:) instead of an equal 
sign for some configuration settings. We added support for an equal 
sign (=) many, many years ago, but because we never wanted to break 
existing configuration, we still today allow a colon.

It is case insensitive. Typically for multiple-word keywords, the 
CamelCase seems to show the word endings better than all upper case, 
which we generally use for the multiple-word keywords who have 
underscores in them.
