A related, very important topic, is that the deprecation message should 
be user-configurable. I'm thinking something like

deprecated("You may want to use ConvException instead.")

There is no way to achieve that with static if, version, etc. The 
deprecated warning would spring like now - only when the declaration is 
actually used.
