Actually the syntax
  scp:source.example.com:1234:source/file dest.example.com:3456:dest/file

would be even more useful. I can only suppose this is not implemented
as there is a theoretically possibility the file is called
"1234:source/file", though this could be specified by quoting, inserting
"./" or whatever.
