I have thought about a new feature for some days now. The initial
plan was to create a new keyword "deprecated" which should simply
trigger a warning when the right error level was set. This could
have been combined with the E_DEPRECATED level from 5.3 (maybe,
otherwise E_STRICT).
The goal was to have a possibility for PHP projects to mark some
functions, classes or methods as no longer recommend to use. The
first step would be to set this new keyword, and after some releases
the developers could remove this item. Just as it is handled in PHP
itself.
I know that there is a phpDoc property for this, but when you
execute your code you'll never realize that.
Well the topic of annotations is a big one in its own right. However
once we have E_DEPRECATED you can at least use trigger_error() to get
your desired effect.
