Yes, it does. But there are multiple steps:
1) print _ as _
2) now the code in the image looks bad --> needs to be converted to :=
Both are planned for 3.9a. (that is, 1) is done, 2) not yet completed).
but then:
3) now that there is only := in the image, can we get rid of _ as an
assigment character?
This we have not yet discussed, and it is *not* planned for 3.9. And
it needs some thought,
because it brakes loading old code. So we would need tool support for
that.
