As a follow up on the turnstile notation, is it possible to avoid a parse conflict with the match notation of Ltac?

Minimal example:

Class VDash (A B C : Type) := vdash : A -> B -> C -> Prop.

Notation "G '|-' e '::' T" := (vdash G e T) (at level 40, e at level 59).

Ltac tactic :=

  solve [match goal with

  | H: _ |- _ => auto

  end].

The error I get is:

Syntax error: '::' expected after [constr:operconstr level 59] (in [constr:operconstr]).
