 /* Deprecated interfaces to keep the old code working (until it is all

+   Yes, the typo is intentional.  The motivation behind this interface
+   change is to eliminate all possability of this problem re-occuring
+   (it has occured in the past and no one is sure that it isn't

    Support for complaining about things in the symbol file that aren't
    catastrophic.
