Those were always more to aid with the VCL->CLX transition or cohabitation.
Those share many common method names, but directives like this allowed to
ban/flag some of them (like gethandle, windowhandle etc), making it easier
to upgrade/prepare vcl codebases to CLX.
Deprecated and platform are a bit more generic.
Experimental is mainly to make absolutely clear that not anything published
is definitive. IMHO should be used more often.
