As far as I remember from the other mail-thread there was consensus to allow underscores in identifiers and get rid of underscores in assignments. What is unclear for me is how we want to proceed and when to integrate it?
1. Do we just change the scanner for 1.1 without fallback?
2. Do we add a setting (fix the existing setting) so that the scanner can be changed on demand?
I prefer 1, because it is simpler and does not allow the system to be in an inconsistent state. 2 is more convenient for people, because they can change the setting to load old code, fix the code and change the setting back. Potentially that leaves the system in an inconsistent state though.
2 would be nice because as integrators we could make sure that the code is in consistent state even with pain. Now could not we have 3? 3 do 1 (ie no preference) but transform the code from _ into := automatically. It would be really great in fact Stef
