The regex doesn't care about colons.
It's a perl non-capturing group.

Not several spaces, one or more spaces then a non-space.
The only change here is allowing an initial space followed
by either:

	1: optional spaces, then non-space.
	2: EOL

I supposed you could argue that case 2 should
also allow optional spaces before EOL and the
test should be

		if ($in_header_lines && $realfile =~ /^$/ &&
		    !($rawline =~ /^\s+(?:\S|$)/ ||
