could'nt you fix the compiler to read := _ and generate := ?

The newcompiler accepts _ and :=. The _ should be removed (but a preference
might be good to be able to load old code).

I will put that on the issue tracker.

(this is here: http://code.google.com/p/squeaknewcompiler/issues/ list)

What do you mean with "generate"? When pretty-printing?

The idea was can be absorb _ (and avoid to have to manually patch the code - even by invoking
FixUnderscore)

I mean
        read in _ or :=
        but changing the text to have only have :=
so may be pretty printing is required. May be what I ask is too complex
        and we could solve that by invoking systematically FixUnderscore


Hmmm... I would vote against magic. Just changing the test in the image (the changes file) is not enough: then people commit this, then there is a class-side initialize among those
methods that's broken ---> unloadable package.

I would say as soon as there is a process that incorporated small fixes fast, it will be easy
to just step-by-step fix all cases of _
