How does one test whether a symbol is deprecated? I would have
expected something like: __traits(isDeprecated, foo).
Such a trait makes it possible to write code that will break,
just because something has been marked as deprecated.
Doesn't it break the purpose of deprecation?
Yeah.
static assert (!__traits(isDeprecated, foo), "i could use the -de
switch as well");
I don't see any real-world usage for this trait. That being said
the amount of work to implement this in the compiler is trivial.
I would tear down the feature + its tests in half an hour i think.
