In my opinion, it is was a bad idea to deprecate a short popular function 
in favor of a much longer name (which is hard to remember anyway) and add 
extra work for developers to make all those checks. Life should be easier 
for developers, not harder.

Whoever made that, did not think well about consequences. Sh•t happens.

The best thing to do would be to revert the deprecation of this function.
