Did the 3.9 team decide to adopt Berts underscore solution and, if so, is there a plan to run his conversion for 3.9 which converts the code from underscore assignment to :=?
Yes but we have to pay attention since we are using MC and we do not know if we would not get loading order problems if we would recompile everything (may be this is totally wrong what I'm saying since marcus already recompiled several times the image). So I have to check my fears :)
Your fears may well be valid. What's really unpredictable when loading multiple MC packages at once is the order of initialize calls.
This is not really related to this package, but we might want to add the disabling of underscore assignments preference from Croquet, so you notice any missed ones when recompiling.
Yeap do you have it somewhere?
There is one which actually patches the fonts, but that's not critical and safe to run twice.
I rather meant that if packages are modified by converting underscores and then are loaded together, it may be problematic.
