Can a language syntax/feature be deprecated to produce a warning in javac? Perhaps this one should.
We haven't reached the point of formally deprecating language features, but certain features like this one (and others) are certainly frowned upon by various style guides and reviewers. So, informally deprecated I guess.
I'd think the next step would be to have javac issue a lint warning.
