Review Comment:
   @szehon-ho Yes, this make sense. My initial idea was to not call 
"deprecated" method, and when time to remove it would be only from 1 single 
file (`ReducibleFunction`), but the approach is not natural (or norm), where 
deprecated code calls the newer method.
   When there's time to remove the method, we can remove from both, would not 
be a big deal, and can't be missed too.
   I'll make this change along with @sunchao mixed arity case.
