It would be ideal not to tab complete deprecated functions. Kind of a nice-to-have, but it would be nice to have.

Some functions are only deprecated for some argument types, so we'd have to distinguish the fully deprecated from the partially deprecated.

Our globals are starting to acquire lots of properties: constant, exported, and now deprecated. I'm worried about "does name x exist" becoming too fuzzy a concept.

That's true, but the only names we'd want to avoid tab completing are the ones that have no non-deprecated methods, so that's not really an issue. I'm not sure that we can really avoid this kind of complexity and I don't really think that it actually muddles the question of whether a name exists or not – rather, it adds properties to names that definitely exist. The real complication to that question, honestly, is the whole using business, which makes it quite subtle whether a name exists and what it means.

Just to reiterate @lindahua's idea of representing this via data attached to functions, that approach would depend on #3988.

We do not tab complete deprecated bindings so if a function is fully deprecated its binding can be deprecated and thus won't tab-complete.
