OMG I never have encountered this idea for function deprecation in libraries but I think it is hilarious: > (A dickish move you can do is to create the new functions, mark the current function as deprecated and add a sleep at the start of the function, in a way that people using the old function are forced to update.) This idea is sure to waste lots of people time, lead to angry emails, and is probably worse than just changing the function signature in-place without any deprecation schedule at all.
