These should be undeprecated for several reasons:
- The suggestion to use spacingRaw is pretty ridiculous; the interface
to spacingRaw is very general and flexible, which is great, but I
think that most people probably do not need all of that flexibility,
and one of these convenience functions may suit their needs better.
- There is precendent for having convenience functions like
these (like X.L.Magnifier)
These were deprecated in a rewrite to make X.L.Spacing support a
non-uniform border length, but from a usability perspective wrappers
should always be preferred to such a general interface with rather shaky
documentation.
