 Which would be just fine for Theme Check. It ignores anything in PHP
 comments. Also, even if it finds false-positives, that's okay. Most such
 output is listed as '''INFO''' anyway: meant as a hint to the
 developer/reviewer to verify that its usage is proper.

 In any case, this rabbit trail has strayed far from the intent of the
 ticket. I'll take it offline with Pross, and if he comes up with something
 viable for Theme Check, then I will take a look at the rest of the defined
 constants with `@deprecated`, to see if any could benefit from additional
 deprecation information, and submit a separate patch.
