       future.

       bit 1: DEPRECATED_WARN_USER, the user needs to be warned that
       this is a deprecated command.  The user should only be warned
       the first time a command is used.
        
       bit 2: MALLOCED_REPLACEMENT, when functions are deprecated at
       compile time (this is the way it should, in general, be done)
       the memory containing the replacement string is statically
       allocated.  In some cases it makes sense to deprecate commands
       at runtime (the testsuite is one example).  In this case the
       memory for replacement is malloc'ed.  When a command is
       undeprecated or re-deprecated at runtime we don't want to risk
       calling free on statically allocated memory, so we check this
       flag.
