These function aliases have been described as DEPRECATED in the public API docs already many years ago (see #701, commit41fc7856), and in addition explicit deprecation warnings are shown by the compiler at least since the first official release 0.2.0 (see PR #1089, commitfc94a2da), so it should be fine to just remove them by now.
