Sorry, I don't get the rationale for renaming STR* into
DEPRECATED_STR*. Are we going to throw away the code that used
STREQN/STREQ? If not, I don't see any good reasons to do this, as
renaming the macro doesn't get us any closer to the goal of replacing
them with a simple call to the appropriate str* function.

Could you please explain why the renaming is a good idea?
