Summary: Allow trailing "=" on method names without quoting

Initial Comment:
On the ::method directive, it would make the code more readable if the syntax for the method name allowed a trailing "=" on the name without quoting.  The following pattern is very common with method names:

::method firstChild abstract
::method "firstChild=" abstract

It seems strange to the eyes that the second needs to be quoted.  A much nicer solution would be:

::method firstChild abstract
::method firstChild= abstract

which has a lower astonishment factor and reads nicer.
