Comment (by jrf):

 Deprecations are not errors. The functions in the `formatting.php` file
 all suffer from similar issues and we should implement a **proper**,
 consistent solution for all, which is why these issues have not been
 addressed yet as a discussion is needed on the solution direction.

 The only time it would be possible to get this deprecation notice, is if
 the function is being called with a `null` as the `$string` parameter,
 which is ''doing it wrong''. More than anything, the incorrect function
 ''call'', should be fixed. Not this function.
