Please no!
That fundamentally changes the readability of Squeak code and makes all
future code written that way incompatible with other Smalltalks.
And besides, some of us grey beards *like* our assignment arrows!  ;-)
If you really want that then create your own language variant or maintain
your own fork of Squeak.  Its not that hard after all, I'm doing both at
present myself!
