Description

Delphi offers the option to mark e.g. methods as being deprecated, optionally including some helpful comment how to migrate the code. This should be supported via a generic "deprecated" annotation, like so:

service deprecate_everything {
  void Foo( ) ( deprecated = "Use Bar() instead" )
  void Bar( ) ( deprecated )  // no comment this time
}

Other languages are invited to "jump in" and support this annotation as well.
