deprecate virtual nodeFunction definitions #1452

Closed paciorek closed 6 months ago

paciorek commented 6 months ago

This addresses NCT issue 500 in which we're discussing whether the virtual nodeFunction definitions in the user global environment (for user-defined functions) and in the nimble namespace (for nimble's distribution functions) are needed.

Testing revealed this doesn't seem to be needed so hiding behind an option in the unlikely event we do need to allow user(s) to re-enable it.
