Why would the Perl 6 spec contain anything deprecated rather than simply not
having it at all?
Or do you mean "deprecated" as in the parser will explicitly recognize it and
die with a helpful error message, such as it does for Perl 5's "=~" to catch
brainos?
If you mean the latter, is there some central place (say in Synopsis 2) that
talks about this, such as in a "terminology" section? "When the Perl 6 spec
uses the word ... it means ..."
