Deprecating Aliases

Sometimes, you'll need to create aliases to old functions which are deprecated. pseudonym allows you to deprecate aliases using the same syntax as deprecated.

use pseudonym::alias;

#[alias(
    deprecated(
        old_api_function,
        since = "0.1.0",
        note = "This function has been deprecated in favor of `new_api_function`"
    )
)]
fn new_api_function() {
    // ...
}

fn main () {
    old_api_function(); // use the alias!
}
