I sometimes have need to change the names of fns in some of my libs.
As I was doing this, I wondered - is there a way to mark a function or
namespace or other as deprecated?
I have not seen anything to this effect.
if not,
would it be feasible to mark a function/namespace with a
^:deprecated metadata
and then provide compiler/reader warnings - or instructions for alternative
functions in the case of renames
e.g
(defn ^:deprecated x ....) => produces a
compiler/reader warning "_FILE_: _LINE_: fn ns/x is deprecated"
(defn ^{:deprecated "do this instead"} x ...) => produces a
compiler/reader warning "_FILE_: _LINE_: fn ns/x is deprecated: do this
instead"
thinking out loud
