## This file contains a number of functions, or extensions of
## functions to certain numbers or combinations of arguments, which
## are now considered "deprecated" or "obsolescent", but which are presently
## included in the system to maintain backwards compatibility.
##
## Procedures for dealing with this functionality are not yet completely
## agreed, but it will probably be removed from the system over
## several releases.
##
## These functions should *NOT* be used in the GAP library.
##
## For each variable name that appears in this file, information should be
## provided up to which version the name was documented, in which version
## it was added to this file and hence is regarded as ``obsolescent'',
## and in which version it is expected to be removed.
##
## Concerning the distribution of code to `lib/obsolete.gd' and
## `lib/obsolete.gi', the following rule holds.
## Function declarations must be added to `lib/obsolete.gd', since the
## declaration part of packages may reference them.
## Also function bodies that rely only on variables declared in the
## declaration part of the GAP library can be added to `lib/obsolete.gd'.
## Only those method installations and function bodies must be added to
## `lib/obsolete.gd' that rely on variables declared in the implementation
## part of the GAP library.

##
## In general we try to keep &GAP; 4 compatible with former releases
## as much as possible.
## Nevertheless,
## from time to time it seems appropriate to remove some commands
## or to change the names of some commands or variables.
## There are various reasons for that:
## Some functionality was improved and got another (hopefully better)
## interface,
## names turned out to be too special or too general for the underlying
## functionality,
## or names are found to be unintuitive or inconsistent with other names.
## 
## In this chapter we collect such old names while pointing to the sections
## which explain how to substitute them.
## Usually, old names will be available for several releases;
## they may be removed when they don't seem to be used any more.
## 
## Information about obsolete names is printed by <Ref Func="Info"/> using the
## <Ref InfoClass="InfoObsolete"/> Info class.
## By default <Ref InfoClass="InfoObsolete"/> is set to 1. Newly
## obsoleted identifiers should at first be outputted at info level 2. Once they
## have been removed from all packages, they should then be moved to info level
## 1, so they are visible to normal users, for at least one major release before
## being removed.
## 
## The functions <C>DeclareObsoleteSynonym</C> and
## <C>DeclareObsoleteSynonymAttr</C> take
## an optional final parameter, specifying the info level at which the given
## obsolete symbol should be reported. It defaults to 2 and 1, respectively.
## 
## The obsolete &GAP; code is collected in two library files,
## <F>lib/obsolete.gd</F> and <F>lib/obsolete.gi</F>.
## By default, these files are read when &GAP; is started.
## It may be useful to omit reading these files,
## for example in order to make sure that one's own &GAP; code does not rely
## on the obsolete variables.
## For that, one can use the <C>-O</C> command line option
## (see <Ref Label="Command Line Options"/>) or set the user preference
## <C>ReadObsolete</C> in the file <F>gap.ini</F> to <K>false</K>
## (see <Ref Sect="sect:gap.ini"/>). Note that the <C>-O</C> command
## line option overrides <C>ReadObsolete</C>.
## 
## (Note that the condition whether the library files with the obsolete
## &GAP; code shall be read has changed.
## In &GAP; 4.3 and 4.4, the global variables <C>GAP_OBSOLESCENT</C>
## and <C>GAPInfo.ReadObsolete</C>
## –to be set in the user's <F>.gaprc</F> file–
## were used to control this behaviour.)

## <Description>
## temporarily makes global variables <Q>undefined</Q>. The arguments to
## <C>HideGlobalVariables</C> are strings. If there is a global variable defined
## whose identifier is equal to one of the strings it will be <Q>hidden</Q>.
## This means that identifier and value will be safely stored on a stack
## and the variable will be undefined afterwards. A call to
## <C>UnhideGlobalVariables</C> will restore the old values.
## The main purpose of hiding variables will be for the temporary creation
## of global variables for reading in data created by other programs.
