My point is this. I think that the parser can support both underscores
in selectors and underscore as assignment. When displaying I would
expect a nice unicode left arrow to be used
If the parser is adjusted to enable both, the only issue is that
underscores used in assignment must have some whitespace around them to
remove any ambiguity. If you accidentally forget the whitespace the
compiler will show you where it got confused, or where a selector does
not exist, and you will have to edit the code, just like missing out a
bracket, a period, or misspelling a selector.
I figured that I would try it one day, and I fully expect it to be a non
issue, however I may be wrong and this wouldn't be the first time if I
was, I just figured it would be worth a try.
best regards
