Yes, I know. But isn't it strange that the standard library is inconsistent
with itself? Shouldn't decisions like "remove a function which other parts of
library expect to be" be more deliberate? I haven't seen such problems in any
of the languages I used, and I think it is not good for the language itself to
have them.
