Re: [commit] Deprecate remaining STREQ uses


Very true. Explicit deprecation is a tool for making that part of the
maintainer and contributor task far easier. Instead of wasting time trying to track and find all the things being eliminated, the contributor and reviewer can simply keep an eye out for deprecated in their patches


I'm not convinced that detecting STREQ is harder than detecting
DEPRECATED_STREQ.

I was talking generally. There are currently 99 deprecated methods (and a further 78 that are listed as potential candidates). I don't think anyone could reasonably be expected to keep track of all of that, least of all a non-core contributor.


Anyway, I think the STREQ specific issue has been beaten to death. I've now learnt a robust mechanical way of eliminating the macro and will endevor to shortly eliminate it.

enjoy,
Andrew
