Are you talking generally or just in terms of STREQ? STREQ is somewhat
a-typical in that my earlier "obish" s/STREQ/strcmp/ changes met with
zero comment (objection or thanks) - consequently I don't think it was
totally unreasonable of me to assume that deprecating the remainder
would be safe. It wasn't. "oops".
