Serious Who came up wit the "<:: ::>" for vocoded speech?

Pretty much title (also hi). Is there any one person that the "<:: ::>" syntax can be credited to? Maybe a developer from lemonpunch or tnb? Before?

I remember it as far back as kuroscript, but I know TnB did not have it back then.

Kurozael, who created the initial schema for HL2RP, Clockwork, was likely the creator of the concept of <:: ::> text formatting for civil protection and vocoding.

contributors to the schema include @alex and @karl-police so they may have more information
