Hi,

I would like to make a suggestion that may lead to a long debate but let's go: 
What do you think about deprecating ~= and replace it with != for example?
Why? In mathematics the symbol ~ is used for equivalence. To me (and I think 
any newcomer to Smalltalk) the first guess of the meaning of ~= is equivalent 
to => missed. The meaning is totally different: "Answer whether the receiver 
and the argument do not represent the same object."

I never used this method because it is too confusing for me. I prefer to use (a 
= b) not or (a = b) ifFalse:.
So, the discussion is open ...

Christophe
