Jon Siwek commented on BIT-1474:
--------------------------------

I had already done "&deprecated" (as part of 2.4 I believe).  But don't think I allowed it to be assigned an expression which could contain more info or had a global flag to disable the warnings.  (Just trying to provide input on what's already available, but both those ideas do seem like useful features to add).

> Based on discussion in BIT-1411, we need a better mechanism for deprecating code. In particular, Vern suggested the attribute {{&deprecate=expr}} syntax where {{expr}} would be an expression that evaluates at the point of use of the deprecated construct and would show the user a hint on how to migrate.
