Depreciated and retired features
Softquoted literals: Header names and likes in a single string and separate with commas will no longer be separated into
individual parameters as it created more confustion and processing time than providing benefits. Put multiple parameters into
a parameter set instead.
The function type detailed has been renamed to subtype.
