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".
