I'm looking forward to when underscore-leftarrow is REALLY REALLY gone and we can start having proper-looking OpenGL constants ("GL_MODELVIEW_MATRIX" instead of "GLModelviewMatrix"). I like the left-arrow too, but can't we please just leave it to the pretty-printer?
Personally I *hate* underscore pseudopunctuation but what does it have to do with using a proper leftarrow?
Nothing to do with a *proper* leftarrow, but as long as people keep evaluating 'Preferences enable: #allowU&%$#(@& $#Assignment' (intentionally obfuscated so that I don' t inadvertently tell someone about it ;-), we'll have neither our underscore pseudo-punctuation nor our proper leftarrow.
BTW, I'm not a huge fan of underscore psuedo-punctuation either, but it beats having to mentally translate between it and the best- approximation-that-Squeak-can-muster.
A proper uparrow would be icing on the cake.

We have unicode. Codepoint 2190 apparently. Come to that we have codepoint 2191 for a proper uparrow as well. Time we used them. := is for Pascal weenies.
