We should deprecate C-style declarations

Before TDPL is published, I think we should finally get rid of C-style
declarations. Supporting two styles of declarations just causes
confusion, and AFAIK it doesn't have any benefits -- for example, it
doesn't significantly help in porting code from C. D declarations are
just better. And there are bugs such as this one, which seem to require
abandoning C declarations:
bug #2392 Parsing ambiguity between function pointer declaration and
function call
At the very least, can we make sure that TDPL doesn't commit us to
retaining them forever?
