The file uses a static module constructor to display a run-time warning. Since the file simply imports the new module, there isn't anywhere to hang a deprecated attribute, to trigger a compile-time warning/error.
I don't know of a single way to do true deprecation (controllable by -w* switches) but you can emulate it by placing module-global static assert or pragma(msg).
We could make this work without changing the language by respecting `deprecated static this() {}` in such module by the way.
