Why hasn't 'deprecation support' been implemented in the compiler, again
like in Java. Why not let the compiler warn us about deprecated methods in
the first place? (we would have noticed the depracation of
stringWithCString: in Jaguar, I too found out by accident...)

We now have 'cross compile' support, so it would be a good idea to include
deprecation warnings with that.

Groeten,

Patrick
