i see from wiki history that i removed these back in sep 2013. besides 
the feature listing there was also some narrative as well. rather than 
restore all that and document as deprecated ... how about a well placed 
"Note" instead

besides the content there's only a couple of other places that need to 
be touched to just get rid of it altogether ... nuke it?

i'm ok with this term mainly because it /is/ consistent with what's been 
done so far ... only possible drawback is confusion with /deprecated/ 
keyword. as long as <code> is used when taking about keyword and <em> is 
used otherwise i think we should be fine
