Thank you!

Oh, so we can't really align with gstreamer using the colon(':') because 
it would split awkwardly with utils::split(str, ":")  I think

ColorSpace::Primaries::Rec709:ColorSpace::TransferFunction::Rec709:ColorSpace::YcbcrEncoding::Rec709:ColorSpace::Range::Full

In that case, I think "/" is our best choice. Second best I think will 
be "|"

I saw a few Colorspace::toString() randomly on the internet, but none 
were structural. They were mostly just meant to print it out for logs 
(and not treating as string input).

I also saw DRM also has colorspaces but haven't came across a helper 
like we need. I am not sure if it's worth to look further! "/" is 
already a good starting point, given our requirements.

Ack.
