R: string ends with one of strings

Is there a more elegant way to find out which elements of a character string vector end with a colon, period or bracket? (Also, I might later want to include question marks etc.)

x <- c("2)", "This", "is", "a", "Test:", "Find", "the", "dots.", "Which", "ones")
which(grepl("\\.$", x) | grepl("\\:$", x) | grepl("\\)$", x))
