Is there a good reason for us not to just declare them obsolete and
remove them?  I hate having to maintain little-used features that do
nothing but duplicate functionality we already have a better
mechanism for.  It's confusing, ugly, and inefficient.

(And no, #pragma interface/implementation aren't the only thing
I"m thinking of.  Like the Lord High Executioner, I've got a little 
list.)
