Subject: bug#49730: 28.0.50; There should be a way to mark a generalised variable as obsolete
Date: Sun, 25 Jul 2021 09:35:14 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <871r7myhfx.fsf@gnus.org> (raw)


We don't have a way to make a generalised variable obsolete, I think?  I
think it would be helpful if we had.

I haven't looked at how to implement it, but marking the symbol in some
way, and then having the byte compiler examine it (when expanding setf
forms) and outputting a warning doesn't immediately seem impossible.
