RE: DEPRECATED not re-exported

I agree.  Your message caught me at a moment when I needed some
displacement activity, so I've implemented a fix.  It was a bit less
trivial than I'd expected, but not hard.

| Subject: DEPRECATED not re-exported
| 
| There seems to be a small problem with the DEPRECATED pragma (both on
| the HEAD and the 6.2 release branch), see e.g. the deprecated function
| withObject:
| 
| -- Main1.hs --------------------------------------------------
| import Foreign.Marshal
| main = withObject 'a' print
| -- Main2.hs --------------------------------------------------
| import Foreign.Marshal.Utils
| main = withObject 'a' print
| --------------------------------------------------------------
| panne@jeanluc:~> ghc Main1.hs
| panne@jeanluc:~> ghc Main2.hs
| 
| Main2.hs:2:7: Warning: Variable `withObject' is deprecated: use `with'
instead
| --------------------------------------------------------------
| 
| It looks like deprecations are not re-exported, but I can't remember
| if this was a conscious design decision or simply happens by accident.
| Nevertheless, with the arrival of hierarchical modules, the current
| behaviour makes this pragma almost useless IMHO. Other opinions?
| 
| Cheers,
|     S.
