| * lisp/emacs-lisp/advice.el (defadvice): Mark as obsolete
defadvice is a carefully designed and well documented piece of
software. It provides a very useful abstraction on how to define
advice and provides easy hooks to disable specific advice, unadvise
and redefine advices. At the least this is essential porcelein which
has to be reimplemente on top of the add-function add-advice plumbing.
I can see no good reason to deprecate and remove defadvice which is
valuble for both its design and beautiful documentation. Removal
would only force the user to use the new sparesly-documented
interfaces to produce write-only opaque unnamed-closure-based
undebuggable code.
