The spec for records allows for the propagation of annotations and type annotations. There is a special javadoc tag `@deprecated` that when applied to most program elements its equivalent to the `@Deprecated` annotation.
But in the case of record components, javadoc is ignoring any comments applied to them. They are not propagated anywhere, so it would be weird to act on a javadoc tag that is not even visible in the generated javadoc documentation. So we decided to just ignore the `@deprecated` javadoc tag if present.
TIA
