: is just a letter character; it's just convention that puts it only  
once in the function names. Other package writers may well do odd  
things in their naming if they wish :)

Does \module:name:suffix have any advantage over \module_name:suffix ?

There are some inconsistencies at the moment with initial prefixes --  
but we're trying to fix this up ASAP to minimise the number of (or, at  
least, better organise the) "module prefixes" we're using.
