Cheerio: XML: Colons (:) interpreted as pseudo class instead of tag names?

Created on 3 Mar 2015  路  1Comment  路  Source: cheeriojs/cheerio 
    $('foo:bar') // error: unmatched pseudo-class

Is there a workaround or can I escape the colon somehow?
I have set xmlMode to true.

Escaping the colon with double backslashes will solve this problem.

    $('foo\\:bar')
