Further questions on deprecation.

[Rod Widdowson]

A slightly different topic to my previous mail.

2 weeks back I expressed a desire that, as much as possible, a configuration which loads without warning is the last release we do
before V4 should load successfully in V4.

To that end I have been adding warnings in the custom parsers when we encounter syntax we are going to remove.

My question here is whether we can take this a step further and fire off "one shot" warning whenever a deprecated method is called
or a deprecated class constructed?  This might get pretty noisy, and might be a whole lot of work, but it feels like it could be a
useful thing to do. 

Following on from this it might be a useful if one of the first things we did in V4 was to strip out all the deprecation and issue a
pre-alpha.  Then all our development partners could at least prepare themselves.  Sure studying the logs will help, but not being
able to compile concentrates the mind wonderfully..

Thoughts?
