I think we must treat the specially.  I don't see a way around that.
Actually, that's most of the reason why we want to get rid of them:
they can't be handled by a separate, off-line expansion pass.

So, while they are 'in deprecation', there needs to be code in the
executor for them.  When they have been removed, that wart will vanish
as well.
