    The Deprecated attribute is, effectively, Deprecated.  So I'm not
    interested in giving it any life support.  <br>
    <br>
    However, it is reasonable to allow the @Deprecated annotation on
    record components.  And, you can apply it there now!  And if you do,
    it will get propagated to fields, accessors, and constructor
    parameters, and reflection will reflect the right thing -- because
    its an annotation.  <br>
    <br>
    It is reasonable to add RECORD_COMPONENT to the target type, though
    not necessary.  This would cause it to be propagated through to the
    Record attribute, where reflection would report it.  I'm pretty
    not-interested in spending any spec or compiler effort on this,
    though.  Its an annotation; we support annotations.  <br>
