I'm all for it. Although I liked the left-arrow symbol when I was first 
introduced to Smalltalk, it is a real anachronism by now. Wherever we 
present source code textually, it should conform to current standards. 
Graphical representations are a different matter, of course.
I don't know how many existing MC packages still use _, these would have 
to be fixed as well...
Maybe if the fonts were changed, people would start using := more (since 
_ assignment looks ugly) and _ assignment could be phased out with 
Squeak 5.0...
