Don't hide deprecated methods (3.79 KB, patch)

Description Colin Walters 2010-10-26 15:32:48 UTC 
When GJS was first created this sort of made sense to unilaterally
axe off all deprecated API.  However, since its creation, new
functions have been deprecated in libraries like GTK2, and it doesn't
make sense for scripts to start exploding immediately.

As for handling this better: A strawman proposal is some environment
variable like G_SCRIPT_RECORD_DEPRECATED=1 which prints exactly one
warning for each deprecated method?  Opinions?

I want gdk_display_get_pointer(), so I'm just going to apply this.
