 I've seen the issue on deprecated declarations has been brought up before
 (eg. https://trac.osgeo.org/geos/ticket/815), and I'm not sure why it was
 closed without further ado. I can imagine it could be adventurous to
 remove deprecated code with short notice.
 Although, wouldn't it be good to have a macro (or a set of macros) issuing
 warnings when using deprecated code. In that way existing and future code
 depending on them can be easily noted and updated, e.g. using
 (IsSimpleOp::)

 {{{
 GEOS_DEPRECATED bool isSimple(const geom::LineString *geom);
 }}}

 …would issue a DEPRECATED warning.

 I have experimented with a solution based on
 https://stackoverflow.com/a/21265197, and it seems to work fine on macOS
 at least for functions/methods.
