We will see since recompiling all the packages may introduce problems
(since we do not have atomic load).
The plan is to try to do it.

Sounds good.  Thanks for working on it!!

I do not think so. Someone should propose a change first :)
=============================================

With tongue only partly in cheek, how about this one:


http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/pipermail/squeak-dev/2002-October/045216.html

I will admit that removing the entanglement of _ with assignment is
preferable, but having the ability to include _ anywhere but the first
character of a selector is a huge down payment.  Why is this not in the
mainstream image?  It would be huge help to those of us with RDB centric
uses for _ in selectors.

Sincerely,

Bill
