Never, of course, but we shouldn't remove `lsh` as long as it's needed for compatibility with old packages that make pre-bignum assumptions, which is the reason for its existence (and semantics) in the first place.

And that's fine -- `lsh` can be kept indefinitely. However, I just removed several calls to `lsh` from new code in Emacs so evidently we need to up our information efforts a notch.

Adding a few words to the doc string may suffice, but a byte-compiler warning would help.
