The functions in <pocketsphinx/search.h> were extremely badly named. If I call ps_set_lm() then I expect it to set the current language model. But it didn't actually do that! It just added the language model to a list of "search modules" and didn't actually change anything.
This is certainly a useful thing to do, but the function name should describe what it actually does. Since we are breaking a bunch of APIs anyway, the old function names are just removed, except in Python, where they are still there but give deprecation warnings (since it's not nice to make people's code crash, whereas making it fail to compile is just fine).
Ideally there would be a ps_set_lm() (for instance) which would actually do what you expect it to, but since the namespace has already been polluted, we probably can't do that. Oh well.
