Yes. The same thing happens with | and _.

Neither python nor robot will just automatically convert one string to another unless you did something wrong. Did you have two or more spaces after :: before the next cell?

@BryanOakley I attempted to use :: in a cell by itself, but for some reason Robot Framework or Python converts :: :: to ::::, which causes a lot more problems.

Originally, I was trying to stay as close to the original syntax of a Robot Framework For Loop as possible. Since the original uses \` and I was reading that as a cell into a language that interprets it as an escape character, I had to use two. Recently I've started looking into using the BuiltIn().keyword_should_exist method to find lines, but I'm running into issues with that so far. I'm using the Python-like expressions because Robot Framework-style variables are compiled to their numbers as they're being sent to Python to be run, while non-Robot Framework syntax can work in the loop.

The two backslashes seems rather cumbersome. Have you considered some other character or characters? For example, : or :: in a cell by itself? From a human factors perspective, those are easier to type and read. Also, why are you using expressions like INDEX == 1 rather than ${INDEX} == 1?
