Description

**Your Godot version:** 4.3 Stable

Since '`TileMap` is deprecated, wouldn't it be best to update `Area2D` documents to reflect that? Or changing it to reference both `TileMapLayer` and `TileMap`?
Unless there has been a change on how `Area2D` and `TileMapLayers` interact compared to `TileMap`.

With `TileMapLayer` being where a lot of effort and utility has been put into, it would be nice to see it referenced more in documentation. Especially since `TileMapLayer` does not seem to inherit from `TileMap`.
