Nothing to do with a *proper* leftarrow, but as long as people keep  
evaluating 'Preferences enable: #allowU&%$#(@& 
$#Assignment' (intentionally obfuscated so that I don' t  
inadvertently tell someone about it ;-), we'll have neither our  
underscore pseudo-punctuation nor our proper leftarrow.

BTW, I'm not a huge fan of underscore psuedo-punctuation either, but  
it beats having to mentally translate between it and the best- 
approximation-that-Squeak-can-muster.

A proper uparrow would be icing on the cake.
