For the untutored, an addition to documentation with the "not so long list
of deprecated" commands with the corresponding "right way to do it." would
be a wonderful addition. In the lack of a specific task to focus on, we
could just list one or two theoretical "typical old handlers" for each old
command and a corresponding "same handler with proper syntax."
