Hi there!

Not sure if it's a bug. Nevertheless i found that one can easily call
deprecated function with non-direct way. For example one can assume the address
of such function to a pointer. So the compiler produces no warnings when
calling deprecated function via the pointer. It also works with threads. I mean
you can merely use a pointer to deprecated function as a thread-callee with the
'spawn' function from the std.concurrency module.

Regards!
