New Issue: How to deprecate a module ?

Remi's issue could also possibly tie into #StandardModuleAttributes. If the
module was deprecated because it merely migrated to a new name, would it be
valuable at compile-time to know what that is? If such standard module
attributes come to be, please consider how deprecation relates. It might
not all be that dissimilar from the Maven Repository's ability to contain
relocation metadata.

Cheers,
Paul
