Comment (by igor.akhmetov@…):

 Hello,

 No, I just want a reliable way to run a specific test (from a test
 runner).

 Escaping colons would work, except for manually registered tests with
 names that contain "\:" - but it's probably a very rare case and not worth
 being worked around. But I still find it unfortunate that backwards
 compatibility was broken with Boost.Test v3.3, since previously valid
 command lines stopped working.

 Thanks!
