No, it was on the mailinglist (and caused no discussion, otherwise i'd have
noticed). And James Moore said similar things recently. (i.e. a few hours
ago)
In my opinion that syntax is extremely ugly and according to manual notes
causes a lot of strange precendence problems. It's just plain ugly and
vague. I think it should be disencouraged to be used.
I don't think it's realistic to even think about nuking it, but 'deprecated'
means simply that it's recommended to not use it, and it's there for
historical reasons. Deprecated does NOT automatically mean it will be
removed.
