## symbol-string-and-package-from-string

Arguments: symbol-string &optional default-package

Parses the colon (or pair of colons) in a string to return two values: a symbol-name string and a package. If the substring before the colon(s) is not the name or nickname of a package, then `nil` is returned as the second value rather than a package.

For example:

    > (symbol-string-and-package-from-string "cg::dummy")
    "dummy"
    #<The CG package>
