[Laszlo-dev] Someone broke lztest

[P T Withington]

'point release' is confusing terminology.

See my email to laszlo-dev on backward-compatibility policy.  I think  
it is ok for us to eventually remove the old names on a minor release,  
but we have to first have a release where the old names cause a  
deprecation warning.  So the bug here is that the old names have been  
removed without a deprecation warning, hence you get a fatal error.

I know we deprecated the old names in the doc, but I don't think that  
is sufficient.  It has to be the case that my code gets (preferably) a  
compiler or runtime warning for using the deprecated name and I can  
transition to the new way to stop the warning.

We either need to reopen the bug associated with r10175 or file a new  
bug to restore the deprecated names and issue warnings for this release.
