Just to be clear here, I'm thoroughly in favour of the WHEN parameter
being supplied to make-obsolete. Just that I feel messed around with,
due to the wording of the message.
How about instead being honest with our hackers, and giving a message
something like:
"cc-cmds.el:326:2:Warning: Please consider supplying a third parameter
\"when\" in invocations of make-obsolete". Is the byte-compiler
flexible enough to support the output of such messages?
