^^ Isn't learning new stuff always fun?

Seriously: At the moment the 'new' class name is mentioned in the 'old' 
files, but there are not many other helpers.

We discussed that recently and would like to see a hint in the new 
classes to mention the old name as well. So you open 
typo3/sysext/core/Classes/Imaging/GraphicalFunctions.php and see "oh, 
that was t3lib/class.t3lib_stdgraphic.php" before.

Furthermore we had the idea to have a file with a map of all old to new 
class names, this could ease the transition phase as well. This actually 
exists already with the ext:core/Migrations file, but a different file 
could be more accessible. Furthermore, the migration files needs to be 
split up and adapted anyway to give other extensions a solution to ship 
an own mapping file.
