The thing is that there is a setting in the preferences that confused
me. It currently has no effect. We could fix the setting to let users
chose between underscore-assignment mode or not. This would allow
people to change the preference to load old code and to fix it using
the refactoring browser. However fixing the preference looks quite
complicated as there are several changes required in Parser, Scanner
and the character table.

The alternative is to remove the setting and to allow
underscore-assignments. When loading old code this will cause a syntax
error.
