With syntaxHighlightingAsYouTypeAnsiAssignment enabled, I can see that _
will get converted to :=.

In both OmniBrowser and Shout Workspace, this conversion only happens after
having accepted the buffer (i.e. no more red border). It would be best if it
could do it on the fly, without requiring the buffer be accepted.

For now, I'll work on adding a new keybinding to ParagraphEditor (ctrl-=)
for entering := and submit a patch for that. Later, when everything's been
converted to use :=, maybe then I can put together a package to alter only
the rendering of := to the left-arrow.

Does that sound good?

Duncan.
