That's fine as an all-or-none approach, and we might want to turn them
off by default, but what we really want is for the warnings to be
suppressed inside deprecated functions.

According to GCC's docs, where __attribute__((deprecated)) appears on a
data TYPE definition, GCC SUPPRESSES the warning where a deprecated type
is used inside another deprecated type definition.

I have no idea why GCC doesn't behave the same way w.r.t. functions.

Perhaps another version of the compiler will do what we want. Perhaps
the Microsoft compiler does behave that way.

In the meantime, I don't know of a better solution than just choosing
whether to see all of them or none of them.
