Oops, I posted the last message before noticing Squeak 1.13...
Still I think that making _ available as a letter in identifiers
has some merits above having := for assignment.
Another oops: The automatic _ to := conversion when method sources
are displayed is not so smart after all... I would convert the
underbars in your methods if you used them in identifiers, too.
