Are you implying that method bodies would only contain := and not 
\leftarrow?
Am I dreaming? Has this fix been approved by Goods? Because you know 
that := is one extra character to type? What is the process to get that 
in Squeak?

(I'm fed up to see my files containing _ been unreadable because of the 
old behavior, but even me the raging french I got over and thought that 
this would last again 20 years before it would be fixed).
