/// # Purpose {#bsla_deprecated-purpose}
/// Provide compiler-hint macros to indicate deprecated entities.
///
/// # Macros {#bsla_deprecated-macros}
///
/// -  BSLA_DEPRECATED:           warn if annotated (deprecated) entity is used
/// -  BSLA_DEPRECATED_MESSAGE:   warn with message if annotated entity is used
/// -  BSLA_DEPRECATED_IS_ACTIVE: defined if both macros are active
///
/// @see  bsla_annotations
///
/// # Description {#bsla_deprecated-description}
/// This component provides preprocessor macros that hint to the
/// compiler that a function, variable, type, `typedef`, `struct` member, `enum`
/// type, or template specialization is deprecated.  This is useful, for
/// example, when identifying functions that are expected to be removed in a
/// future version of a library.
///
/// ## Macro Reference {#bsla_deprecated-macro-reference}
///
///
///  `BSLA_DEPRECATED`:
///     This annotation will, when used, cause a compile-time warning if the
///     so-annotated function, variable, type, `typedef`, `struct` member,
///     `enum` type, or template specialization is used anywhere within the
///     source file.  The warning includes the location of the declaration of
///     the deprecated entity to enable users to find further information about
///     the deprecation, or what they should use instead.
/// 
///  `BSLA_DEPRECATED_MESSAGE(QUOTED_MESSAGE)`:
///     This annotation will, when used, cause a compile-time warning if the
///     so-annotated function, variable, type, `typedef`, `struct` member,
///     `enum` type, or template specialization is used anywhere within the
///     source file.  The compiler warning will contain the contents of the
///     specified `QUOTED_MESSAGE`, which must be a double-quoted string.  The
///     warning includes the location of the declaration of the deprecated
///     entity to enable users to find further information about the
///     deprecation, and what they should use instead.  Note that on some
///     compilers `QUOTED_MESSAGE` is ignored.
/// 
///  `BSLA_DEPRECATED_IS_ACTIVE`:
///    The macro `BSLA_DEPRECATED_IS_ACTIVE` is defined if `BSLA_DEPRECATED` and
///    `BSLA_DEPRECATED_MESSAGE` are both active and have the desired effect;
///    otherwise, `BSLA_DEPRECATED_IS_ACTIVE` is not defined and both other
///    macros expand to nothing.
///
/// ## Usage {#bsla_deprecated-usage}
///
///
/// This section illustrates intended use of this component.
///
/// ### Example 1: Various Deprecations {#bsla_deprecated-example-1-various-deprecations}
///
///
/// First, we define a deprecated type `UsageType`:
/// @code
/// struct BSLA_DEPRECATED UsageType {
///     int d_int;
/// };
/// @endcode
/// Then, we define a function `usageFunc` that is deprecated:
/// @code
/// BSLA_DEPRECATED
/// void usageFunc();
/// void usageFunc()
/// {
///     printf("Don't call me.\n");
/// }
/// @endcode
/// Next, we define a variable `usageVar` that is deprecated:
/// @code
/// BSLA_DEPRECATED extern int usageVar;
/// int usageVar = 5;
/// @endcode
/// Then, we define a typedef `UsageTypedef` that is deprecated:
/// @code
/// BSLA_DEPRECATED typedef int UsageTypedef;
/// @endcode
/// Next, we define a `struct` with a member `d_y` that is deprecated:
/// @code
/// struct UsageStruct {
///     double                 d_x;
///     BSLA_DEPRECATED double d_y;
/// };
/// @endcode
/// Then, we define an `enum` `UsageEnum` that is deprecated:
/// @code
/// enum BSLA_DEPRECATED UsageEnum { e_FALSE, e_TRUE };
/// @endcode
/// Next, we define a template this is only deprecated in the case where it is
/// specialized with the `int` type as a template parameter:
/// @code
/// template <class TYPE>
/// TYPE usageAbs(TYPE x)
/// {
///     return x < 0 ? -x : x;
/// }
///
/// template <>
/// BSLA_DEPRECATED_MESSAGE("'int' specialization not allowed")
/// int usageAbs<int>(int x)
/// {
///     int ret = x < 0 ? -x : x;
///     return ret < 0 ? ~ret : ret;
/// }
/// @endcode
/// Then, as long as we don't use them, no warnings will be issued.
///
/// Next, we use `UsageType`:
/// @code
/// UsageType ut;
/// ut.d_int = 5;
/// (void) ut.d_int;
/// @endcode
/// which results in the following warnings:
/// @code
/// .../bsla_deprecated.t.cpp:287:5: warning: 'UsageType' is deprecated
/// [-Wdeprecated-declarations]
///     UsageType ut;
///     ^
/// .../bsla/bsla_deprecated.t.cpp:113:7: note: 'UsageType' has been explicitly
///  marked deprecated here
///     } BSLA_DEPRECATED;
///       ^
/// @endcode
/// Then, we call `usageFunc`:
/// @code
/// usageFunc();
/// @endcode
/// which results in the following warnings:
/// @code
/// .../bsla_deprecated.t.cpp:309:5: warning: 'usageFunc' is deprecated
/// [-Wdeprecated-declarations]
///     usageFunc();
///     ^
/// .../bsla_deprecated.t.cpp:117:22: note: 'usageFunc' has been explicitly
/// marked deprecated here
///     void usageFunc() BSLA_DEPRECATED;
///                      ^
/// @endcode
/// Next, we access `usageVar`:
/// @code
/// printf("%d\n", usageVar);
/// @endcode
/// which results in the following warnings:
/// @code
/// .../bsla_deprecated.t.cpp:326:20: warning: 'usageVar' is deprecated
/// [-Wdeprecated-declarations]
///     printf("%d\n", usageVar);
///                    ^
/// .../bsla_deprecated.t.cpp:134:25: note: 'usageVar' has been explicitly
/// marked deprecated here
///     extern int usageVar BSLA_DEPRECATED;
///                         ^
/// .../bsla_deprecated.h:119:32: note: expanded from macro 'BSLA_DEPRECATED'
/// #     define BSLA_DEPRECATED [[deprecated]] {#bsla_deprecated-define-bsla_deprecated}
///
/// @endcode
/// Then, we use `UsageTypedef`:
/// @code
/// UsageTypedef jjj = 32;
/// (void) jjj;
/// @endcode
/// which results in the following warnings:
/// @code
/// .../bsla_deprecated.t.cpp:379:5: warning: 'UsageTypedef' is deprecated
/// [-Wdeprecated-declarations]
///     UsageTypedef jjj = 32;
///     ^
/// .../bsla_deprecated.t.cpp:140:5: note: 'UsageTypedef' has been explicitly
/// marked deprecated here
///     BSLA_DEPRECATED typedef int UsageTypedef;
///     ^
/// @endcode
/// Next, we access the deprecated member of `UsageStruct`:
/// @code
/// UsageStruct us;
/// ::memset(&us, 0, sizeof(us));
/// assert(0 == us.d_x);    // no warning
/// assert(0 == us.d_y);    // 'd_y' is deprecated -- issues warning.
/// @endcode
/// which results in the following warnings:
/// @code
/// .../bsla_deprecated.t.cpp:387:20: warning: 'd_y' is deprecated
/// [-Wdeprecated-declarations]
///     assert(0 == us.d_y);    // 'd_y' is deprecated -- issues warning.
///                    ^
/// .../bsla_deprecated.t.cpp:146:9: note: 'd_y' has been explicitly marked
/// deprecated here
///         BSLA_DEPRECATED double d_y;
///         ^
/// @endcode
/// Now, we use the deprecated `UsageEnum`:
/// @code
/// UsageEnum ue;
/// ue = e_TRUE;
/// (void) ue;
/// @endcode
/// which results in the following warnings:
/// @code
/// .../bsla_deprecated.t.cpp:411:15: warning: 'UsageEnum' is deprecated
/// [-Wdeprecated-declarations]
///      UsageEnum ue;
///                ^
/// .../bsla_deprecated.t.cpp:152:26: note: declared here
///      enum BSLA_DEPRECATED UsageEnum { e_FALSE, e_TRUE };
///                           ^
/// @endcode
/// Finally, we access the deprecated specialization of `usageAbs`:
/// @code
/// assert(2.0 == usageAbs(-2.0));            // no warning, 'usageAbs<double>'
///                                           // not deprecated
/// assert(INT_MAX == usageAbs(INT_MIN));     // warning, 'usageAbs<int>' is
///                                           // deprecated
/// @endcode
/// which results in the following warnings:
/// @code
/// .../bsla_deprecated.t.cpp:441:39: warning: 'TYPE usageAbs(TYPE) [with TYPE
/// = int]' is deprecated: 'int' specialization not allowed
/// [-Wdeprecated-declarations]
///      assert(INT_MAX == usageAbs(INT_MIN));     // warning, 'usageAbs<int>'
///                                        ^
/// .../bsla_deprecated.t.cpp:168:9: note: declared here
