Why is it so important, can you enlighten me?

thanks..

I'm with Stef on this.  It strikes me as being almost self-evident that one would want to be in synch with other Smalltalks with respect to syntax.  <somebodyHasToSayIt>While there is certainly nothing wrong w/ one-character assignment if users want it (which many obviously do), it was a mistake to put same into the compiler and to taint the sources with it.  It belongs in the editors, and should be optional.</somebodyHasToSayIt>

This is something that can be done in a way that serves both camps.
