Hi All,
Pharo accepts
method: p _: q _: r ^'cool'
Squeak does not. I have an urgent compelling use case in VMMaker. Would there be any strong objections to me modifying the Squeak compiler to accept the above when the allowUnderscoresInSelectors preference is in effect? _,,,^..^,,,_ best, Eliot
I have not objection with that AS LONG AS it doesn't inadvertently allow us to create a method _ (that is #_). This would make old code and new code become confusing, I would think.
Thanks, cbc

Hi Eliot,
That's clearly a bug as the compiler accepts this:
method: p __: q __: r ^'cool'
