I talked privately with Erik about this, and he agreed to drop his 
proposed patch and let me work on a different approach instead.

This webrev does basically the same thing as Eriks fix, but establishes 
a framework for deprecating arguments, to make future deprecations more 
easy to do and more consistent in style.

So, please review this fix instead of Erik's.
