Stef,

FWIW, my biggest priority is to be able to use underscores in class and
method names (very useful when talking to the outside world - I don't
care if it's ugly, it works<g>).  Pharo will help me reduce Microsoft's
influence over my future, but while one source of underscores goes away,
things like GSL and other libraries becoming increasingly important to
me are littered with them.

Many "details" along the way would apparently go away if the compiler
and image stopped abusing $_.  To those who insist that it saves them
time, I have long asserted, and continue to do so, that the editor can
map _ to := for them, as well as take out a preceding colon when
deleting $=.  Done.  The compiler gets its sanity back, and they type
one character for assignment.

Does that help at all??

Thanks gwenael
I will intergrate your fix.

Now pharoers what do we do with _ and external code using [ : x  
instead of [:x

for _
        Gwenael proposed to have the parser been able to parse and fix
the _  
into :=
        but also to be able to have a strict parser.

For :x we should have a parser that reject : x code.
But what do you think
