DeprecatedFeatures
To pray against, as an evil; to seek to avert by prayer; to desire the removal of; to seek deliverance from; to express deep regret for; to disapprove of strongly.
The features listed below may be supported by Larceny but are deprecated. The implementors of Larceny recommend against use of deprecated features, and hope to remove some of them in future versions of Larceny. Many of the deprecated features are bad ideas that should never have been added to Larceny, but persist for backwards compatibility or for the convenience of the Larceny implementors or because they are mandated by the R6RS.
If a deprecated syntax is mandated by the R6RS, then Larceny supports the syntax only in R6RS-compatible and R6RS-conforming modes. Some of the deprecated R6RS procedures may be supported in R5RS and R7RS modes just because it is more convenient for the implementors to support them in all modes than to provide and to test them only in R6RS modes.
