For programatically generating test suite methods, I replaced ":" with "X"
(a capital x) so it will visually stand out and to try to avoid conflicts
with the ANSI use of the underline.  I don't think a conflict will occur,
but this might be a useful suggestion.

For operators I used the following a mapping:

"="   -> "equalityOp"
"=="  -> "identityOp"
"~="  -> "notEqualityOp"
"~~"  -> "notIdentityOp"
"&"  -> "andOp"
"|"   -> "orOp"
"<"   -> "lessThanOp"
"<="  -> "lessThanOrEqualToOp"
">"   -> "greaterThanOp"
">="  -> "greaterThanOrEqualToOp"
"*"   -> "multiplyOp"
"+"   -> "addOp"
"-"   -> "subtractOp"
"/"   -> "divideOp"
"//"  -> "integerDivideOp"
"\\"  -> "remainderIntegerDivideOp"
","   -> "concatenateOp"

This seemed to be the most common use of the operators.

Using the Smalltalk Interchange Format (SIF) would make it more portable and
easier to use across dialects.

I think this project would be very useful, and would like to help in the effort.
