This is incorrect use of the word "deprecated"... it's *already*
deprecated (a word which pretty much means the opposite of "recommended".)
As far as "default n" is concerned... this is usually not necessary; "n"
is the default unless anything else is specified.

deprecated (a word which pretty much means the opposite of "recommended".)
As far as "default n" is concerned... this is usually not necessary; "n"
is the default unless anything else is specified.
