Stephane,

I think that a #deprecated: method a la #error: is the best. This then raises a Warning exception called Deprecation.

The attached changeset includes:

1. Deprecation
2. Object>>#deprecated
3. Object>>#deprecated: aMethodSymbol
4. Warning>>#defaultAction (a wee fix to the debugger title)

Useage:

	MyClass>>#dodgyOldMethod

		self deprecated.
		self doDodgyStuff.


The user can proceed through the Warning.

Ok, how do we get this idea/policy into 3.6alpha so that everyone (not just KCP) can use it. 

Cheers

Brent
