Subject: [ruby-core:70147] [Ruby trunk - Feature #11398] deprecate constants

Issue #11398 has been updated by Yukihiro Matsumoto.


It seems a good idea, for example, we have TimeoutError (instead of Timeout::Error).

Feature #11398: deprecate constants

----------------------------------------
Sometimes old constants are deprecated but still remained for backward compatibilities.
It is not noticed and will be kept forever, with no warnings, though.
So I propose a method `Module#deprecate_constant` to mark a constant obsolete and emit a warning message when it is referred.
