Indeed, but the choice of _when_ to remove can in practice be
quite free, no? It would be possible to put in place this
deprecation warning and wait for years before acting on it.
This is one thing I'd love major versions to be used for.
Deprecate bunch of things iteratively, remove them completely in
D 3.xx.yy ; aggregate bunch of new deprecated things and release
D 4.xx.yy etc.
