Thanks for pointing that out. It's been a while since I wrote that
proposal, but I checked it again, and you are right, I missed the
procedural function. I have clarified it by adding a new paragraph and
the deprecation message. I have also reworded the text without
changing its meaning to highlight my impact analysis, which showed
that this function is not used in any popular open-source project.

FWIW, both of my proposals included impact analysis from the start. I
was unable to find any usage of these functions in the wild.

I hope this change is not going to reset the counter. This was a
simple oversight when writing the text of the proposal.
