I didn't know about the 'deprecated' attribute, thanks for the tip.  In this 
case, I don't think we could have used it because they were macros.  Well, I 
guess we could have factored out the relevant code deeper within Memcheck 
intro functions, but that would have required duplicating real code to 
distinguish between the deprecated and non-deprecated versions.

These macros were marked as deprecated in the 3.2.0 release notes, so there 
was considerable warning.

Sorry for the inconvenience.
