No.  In Guile, : tends to be used for procedures that access one field
of something like a structure or record, for example `stat:atime':

guile> (stat ".")
($ 1) => #(772 1278104 16877 21 1000 1000 0 4096 988447364 988447084 988447084 
4096 8 directory 493)
guile> (stat:atime (stat "."))
($ 2) => 988447364
guile>
