In the country/region classes, deprecated calls functions and parameters need to be removed in the future

[JeffPyeBrook]

As of release 3.,8.14, there are a couple of places in the class methods where special code is in place to gracefully handle backwards compatibility.

Because of where the changes are in the class construction it is not practical to use the wpsc-deprecated file. The code does give a deprecated warning, and will eit in a manner similar to an undefined function if deprecated processing is not enabled. That should make it easy enough for third-party developers to find.

The special code has been conspicuously commented and refers back to this specific issue so that some reasonable amount of time/releases into the future we can remove the special purpose backwards compatibility code.

@JeffPyeBrook Do you imagine you'll have time to address anything here specifically for the 4.0 release? Happy to punt to a future release if you are.

[JeffPyeBrook]

@JustinSainton I beleive the countries class PR that is queued up should handle much of what is needed here.

[JustinSainton]

@JeffPyeBrook Awesome. Do you see that being ready soon?

[JeffPyeBrook]

i have been testing it and haven't seen any issues yet, not sure anyone has looked at it?

[JustinSainton]

I've looked at it, haven't used it yet though. There were some todos here that seem unfinished?

[JustinSainton]

@JeffPyeBrook alright, just gave it a final audit. seems to be pretty close.

[JustinSainton]

@JeffPyeBrook I'm going to go ahead and punt to 4.1. Now that we're in beta, it's a bit too late to merge. If you can take a look at the todos, we can merge it early in 4.1. Otherwise, I'll take a stab at it then.
