 For example, if an issue is already labeled `priority::3` and you apply the label `priority::2` to it,
 `priority::3` is automatically removed.
+### Labels with multiple colon pairs

+If labels have multiple instances of `::`, the longest path from left to right, until the last `::`, is considered the "key" or the "scope".
