But if you control implementation adding `MY_DEPRECATED` and you
control the build of all modules (aka `-D???` compiler switch) then
this will work.
Of course you can't affect macros of module from other module as this
was one of the main goals of the model proposal.
But this is not this case. Only problem would be that you will need to
make a clear build of all modules when you change flags of
compilation.
