The leading ": " used to protect the drawing from strange
fontification.  This is no longer strictly necessary.
However, currently this lead string also ensures that "C-c '"
will edit the string in artist-mode, irrespective of the begin/end
wrapper, so that other ditaa-like programs could be used.
We could actually remove this lead string and implement direct
recognition of the ditaa block, but this is not really urgent.
I'll put it on my list.
