Comment (by darkdragon):

 I'm not saying this feature wouldn't be awesome, I'm saying the patch is
 not awesome. You have a few options other than throwing an user error.

  1. Use the file logging (the same used in the wpdb object).[[BR]]
  2. An API which records which deprecated functions have run, how many
 times and by what functions (using debug_backtrace since well, if you are
 debugging then performance isn't an issue, but allow this to be enabled),
 and allow plugins to output the results.

 I would go with the second, since someone who is likely to be debugging
 would want know. You can name the plugin something like, "Find out if your
 theme is compatible with the next WordPress release!" and people should
 come.

 However, an epiphany came to me and I think creating a web site for the
 purpose of finding out if a theme or plugin uses deprecated functions is
 not difficult at all.
