No problem :)

It also surprised me that it worked... A little investigation reveals
that it worked because when you say

  [encode]
  ** = cleverencode:

in your config file, then localrepo will search for a declared filter so
that the config line starts with that filter. So any filter which is a
prefix of 'cleverencode:' will be used here.

The extra ':' is actually passed on to the filter as an extra argument.
This argument is quite conveniently ignored by the win32text filters.
