Description

Add a way to indicate DEPRECATED functions/types/modules? Perhaps use the GHC DEPRECATED pragma?

Change History

Using the existing GHC deprecated pragma would be ideal I think. See for example the gtk-doc output for deprecated stuff:

http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtk/stable/gtk-General.html#gtk-timeout-add-full

Related to saying that something is deprecated is saying when it was deprecated. This aspect is related to ticket #25 and #26. My personal opinion on both is that it should not be indicated in the source but passed in (eg by Cabal) as auxiliary information that is derived using another tool that compares package versions.

I have some very unpolished patch for this. I'll try to get that ready some time soon.
