/* This file contains definitions for discouraged features.  When you
   discourage something, move it here when that is feasible.

   A discouraged feature is one that shouldn't be used in new code
   since we have a better alternative now.  However, there is nothing
   wrong with using the old feature, so it is OK to continue to use
   it.

   Eventually, discouraged features can be deprecated since removing
   them will make Guile simpler.
