Review comment:
@Apache9 Just to make sure I understand you right...you want me to write a
method which is Deprecated, as of the moment of its creation?
Adding a method to a public interface tells people they can use it.
Deprecating a method tells people they should stop using it or refrain from
starting to. Adding a deprecated method...just adds dead code.
Someday soon, there's going to be a Phoenix code review for changes I'll
make that use this method, and someone's going to say, "You can't use this
method; it's deprecated. -1" And they'll be completely right to say so.
Huh?
