module Aws

  # A utility module that provides a class method that wraps
  # a method such that it generates a deprecation warning when called.
  # Given the following class:
  #
  #     class Example
  #
  #       def do_something
  #       end
  #
  #     end
  #
  # If you want to deprecate the `#do_something` method, you can extend
  # this module and then call `deprecated` on the method (after it
  # has been defined).
  #
  #     class Example
  #
  #       extend Aws::Deprecations
  #
  #       def do_something
  #       end
  #
  #       def do_something_else
  #       end
  #
  #       deprecated :do_something
  #
  #     end
  #
  # The `#do_something` method will continue to function, but will
  # generate a deprecation warning when called.
  #
