Unfortunately, I just realized that it's not quite so simple as this,
because we'd also be removing a set of C interfaces without any
deprecation.

Instead, we should probably deprecate (in 1.8) the whole of objprop.c
in its current form, and remove it in 1.10.  In 1.10, we could include
my Scheme equivalents as a compatibility module, or we could just
include them as an FAQ answer or as part of the manual.

[When we reach a firm conclusion on this, I'll add a TODO item and a
summary in devel, so we don't forget.]
