+ # DeprecatedConstantAccessor transforms a constant into a deprecated one by
+ # hooking +const_missing+.
+ #
+ # It takes the names of an old (deprecated) constant and of a new constant
+ # (both in string form) and optionally a deprecator. The deprecator defaults
+ # to +ActiveSupport::Deprecator+ if none is specified.
+ #
+ # The deprecated constant now returns the same object as the new one rather
+ # than a proxy object, so it can be used transparently in +rescue+ blocks
+ # etc.

+ # PLANETS = %w(mercury venus earth mars jupiter saturn uranus neptune pluto)
+ #
+ # (In a later update, the original implementation of `PLANETS` has been removed.)

+ # include ActiveSupport::Deprecation::DeprecatedConstantAccessor
