In the Alpaca class, I typically say "colon colon", until I get tired of saying that, and then I leave it out.

    Ah, good point. In any given conversation, you'll probably be saying the same module name more than once. Say it with the colons once or twice, then revert to skipping them once you both know what's being referred to.
