There's FixUnderscores2 which is even better, because it uses the compiler 
to find assignments and do the replacement properly. But I think the best 
solution is to add a utility to the Trunk itself (I wrote one using 
Eliot's parse node visitor), so it will be straightforward to find the 
right tool.
Manual review is still necessary, because sometimes the comments contain 
code with assignments.
