Actually, it's in used for a definition list in MultiMarkdown.  
Markdown does not support definition lists. I have a [related proposal] 
[] for definition lists that's identical to what MM does, except that  
it uses ~ instead of :, both because it's easier to see as a bullet in  
many fonts, and because it's not all that common.
