Description

Similar to Java's `@Deprecated` annotation, I want to be able to find out statically and quickly when I am using a deprecated API.

(This would also address the confusion / difficulty around warnings-as-errors vs. warnings-as-print-statements vs. how-does-your-test-runner-tell-you-about-deprecations problem.)
