Syntax for line numbers on the command line

The syntax `subl somefile.txt:100' to open Sublime on line 100 introduces a problem: I have a bunch of files with timestamps in their names (like `filename-19:35:12'). As far as I see, it is not possible to open these files from the command line. It would be nice if the syntax could either be changed (by e.g. including a space between filename and line number) or if there was an option to turn off jumping to a line.
