I'd like to have a defined way of deprecating old features of a
library. It should be an attribute to functions / classes / structs
/ enums ... . Every use of it in a non-deprecated function / class ...
should raise a mandatory warning about this function. like:

 deprecated  enum OldEnum  {a,b,c};
   deprecated  class VeryOld { };
 void  old_call(void) deprecated {};

        void new_call(void){
  VeryOld  obj; // compiler emmits a warning
  old_call();   // compiler emmits a warning
  }
