+It returns a modified function which warns once by default.
+
+If `--no-deprecation` is set then this function is a NO-OP.  Configurable
+at run-time through the `process.noDeprecation` boolean (only effective
+when set before a module is loaded.)
+
+If `--trace-deprecation` is set, a warning and a stack trace are logged
+to the console the first time the deprecated API is used.  Configurable
+at run-time through the `process.traceDeprecation` boolean.
+
+If `--throw-deprecation` is set then the application throws an exception
+when the deprecated API is used.  Configurable at run-time through the
+`process.throwDeprecation` boolean.
+
+`process.throwDeprecation` takes precedence over `process.traceDeprecation`.
