Comment:

Moving whiteknight's comment into a comment and replacing the original ticket description. 

+1 from me. What happened to this compiler, ripping out all it's functionally and replacing it with an exception, doesn't really satisfy the deprecation policy, but then again keeping in a feature that doesn't work for the sake of keeping it not working doesn't really do so either.

I don't think we've really given it enough thought, but "features" that didn't work at the time that the deprecation policy was adopted should really be grandfathered in as being "experimental" features. They didn't work, there wasn't an expectation that they would "continue" to work, etc. Better to just remove this and be done with it.
