Does smalltalk-mode support old-style syntax?

Hello!

I'm trying to use Emacs to develop Smalltalk.  I am developing for Amber but GST seems to be the only place I can find a smalltalk-mode for Emacs.  The problem is I'm getting errors while trying to write code.  For example, if I create a file Foo.st and from an empty buffer write:

Object subclass: #Foo
instanceVariableNames

When I try to type ':' I get an error in the minibuf saying "At end of buffer" and I cannot type the ':'.

I was told that GST has switched to a new syntax, so is this valid for the said syntax?  If not, does anyone have any suggestions for an emacs mode that supports the chunk style?  Can I use the smalltalk-mode from an earlier version of gcc?  My workaround right now (which is less than ideal) is to comment out the lines that map : to smalltalk-colon and ! to smalltalk-bang.

Thanks,
Malcolm

Yes, it should work but it has somewhat bitrotted.

Your bug seems pretty easy to reproduce and fix, though.

Does this mean it will be fixed soon? :)
