Hmm, I'd rather call that an extremely bad thing, since deprecated is mainly
useful for documentation. Moreover, if that were the case, the compiler
should forbid that, not the doc parser.

Seriously however, these are exceptions, rather than the rule. Mattias fixed
really a lot. Except maybe all the constructs recently added to FPC. (Paul's
D2006 features, case of string etc). 

If I understand Michael's remarks, about what Mattias goals were, correctly,
that's logical, since those features are not used in packages/
