I don't think these should be removed or deprecated, ever. I have lots
of code that still refers to them --- I doubt that I'm alone --- and I
think we should be able to support them.
I agree that these should never be removed. I would not mind if they
were marked in some way as "these are here for legacy reasons. New
code should use XYZ" with specific pointers and helpful advice.
I'm still using some "mzlib" in *new* code. Specifically, "getpid",
"this-expression-source-directory", "gethostname", and perhaps one or
two other things. I could find other ways to do those things if I had
to, but those definitions pop up when I search, and there's no glaring
warning not to use them.
