:The words are different, but not "completely" different (in my dictionary
:one of the definitions for deprecate says "To belittle; depreciate").
:However, I have never heard of deprecate being used in the cited context,
:while I have heard depreciate used many times in similar circumstances.
:I believe that depreciate is the better choice.
Don't want to turn this list into a language debate but deprecate is the
desired meaning and I come across it used this way quite a lot in the
computer world. And in my interpretation they mean completely different
things here.
BTW, I only had the "cd BUG in doshfunc" bug (which Zoltan's sent a patch
for) show with chpwd() set to do something.
