As a complete ObjC newbie -
*why* is it deprecated?   Does #import  work anything like the Java import, 
which automagically takes care of namespace merging and stuff that in C 
results in that stupid, annoying, kludgy system of #include+#ifdef XXX_YYY_H ?

If ObjC #import works like Java import, surely it's a massive and stupid  
step backwards to use #include +#ifdefs instead of #import ?

OTOH if it's just a synonym for #include, then fair enough...
