That shouldn't have happened, at least not with my automatic  
conversion procedure, which carefully does not touch methods that  
contain underscore in literals. I hope. Of course, when going over  
the remaining methods manually these might have slipped in.

What would be helpful in this case is if we had a "pretty printed  
diff" in Monticello so one could see the actual changes undisturbed  
by cosmetic modifications. I found it so cumbersome to merge 3.9  
packages with my own versions that I gave up on it.

Any takers? :)
