New description:
Several NCI parameter types which have complex functionality are
deprecated. These are either implementable as a layer on top of NCI from
within parrot (see zavolaj for ideas), will be replaced by a more general
mechanism, or break encapsulation.
Specifically, the following are deprecated, and replacement strategy
suggested.
* J getinterp in sugar layer
* @ :slurpy parameters in suage layer
* t manage null-padding in sugar layer
* 0 insert null argument in sugar layer
* V an alternate, more general call-by-reference system will be
provided
* 2 an alternate, more general call-by-reference system will be
provided
* 3 an alternate, more general call-by-reference system will be
provided
* 4 an alternate, more general call-by-reference system will be
provided
* B an alternate, more general call-by-reference system will be
provided
* b no replacement; stop violating the string system's assumptions
* T no replacement; undocumented, broken feature
* L no replacement; undocumented, broken feature
