According to the Vi(m) documentation [1] there are two ways to set modelines:

[text]{white}{vi:|vim:|ex:}[white]{options}

and

[text]{white}{vi:|vim:|ex:}[white]se[t] {options}:[text]

By using the "set" command, the Modeline Generator on the Wireshark web site
chose the second format, which includes a non-optional terminating colon on the
line. However, that colon is not added by the Generator.

I noticed this when a dissector source file I submitted was updated in the SVN
with these generated modelines, and the settings were not applied when I opened
the file in my editor.
