Alternative for Kotlin's `replaceWith` #59

Open kezz opened 3 years ago

kezz commented 3 years ago

It would be really nice to have an annotation, perhaps @ApiStatus.SuggestedAlternative, @ApiStatus.UseInstead or @ApiStatus.ReplaceWith that used the same internal logic as Kotlin's deprecation system to allow Java developers to provide alternatives to deprecated elements that can be picked up by an IDE.

It's nice that such a function exists in another API, but it would be better if all possible functions are combined in one API, because then you only have to include one.
