If you don't want to manually operate on AST, you can use Mark's Rewrite Tool (��http://screencast.com/t/LCEl0hFl ,��https://medium.com/@peteruhnak/using-rewrite-tool-for-fixing-deprecated-code-12a595b291d8 )

As for ASTs I would be also curious about the answer, as this seems like it should be a simple task.

Hi everyone,

I would like to modify the AST of a smalltalk expression compiled to automatically send a certain message
when a node represents a Character (so the user does not have to write the message sending explicitly).
I would of course add a special button in the menu you get when right clicking in a playground so the user
knows it is a "special" do-it...

For example:
�� �� $a.
would transform into an ast that the source code looks like
�� �� $a aMessage

How can I do this? :)
