Hi,

is there a mechanism for deprecating whole classes?

For example there's class RTResizEable that has been replaced by
RTResizable (without extra "e") class. But if I don't want to break
people's code I would like to tell them that they should use something else.

I could mark every method with "self deprecated:" but that's a bit
tedious...
And doing it with a script (rewritting all methods to add the statement) is
dangerous, because it can be part of UI loop, so it will blow up the image
with warnings.

An idea might be to instead of opening Warning dialog with debug...
to create a "Deprecations Browser" (which has only one instance so if you
attempt to open it again while it is still opened nothing will happen).
And in the Deprecations Browser would be list of triggered deprecations...
maybe something like "Announcements tab" in Announcer inspector...

That way even deprecations in UI loops will just add a hundred rows to a
single window instead of opening hundred windows. (And there would be also
opportunity for not showing duplicates.)

Thanks,
Peter
