In this case, the deprecation seems actually caused by a template-constraint
Which should evaluate the symbol in a speculative context.
We could keep track of context I guess ...

Example code:
```
import std.stdio;

struct Foo
{
    pure nothrow @nogc @safe:
    deprecated string toString() const { return "Hello"; }
    int value;
}

void main ()
{
    Foo f;
    writeln(f);
}
```

Currently this prints:
```
std/format.d(3921): Deprecation: function foo.Foo.toString is deprecated
std/format.d(4053): Deprecation: function foo.Foo.toString is deprecated
```

We would like it to print something similar to how template instantiation
failures are printed, that is:
```
std/format.d(4053): Deprecation: function foo.Foo.toString is deprecated
std/format.d(4430):        instantiated from here:
formatObject!(LockingTextWriter, Foo, char)
std/format.d(1875):        instantiated from here:
formatValueImpl!(LockingTextWriter, Foo, char)
std/format.d(576):        instantiated from here:
formatValue!(LockingTextWriter, Foo, char)
std/stdio.d(1565):        instantiated from here:
formattedWrite!(LockingTextWriter, char, Foo)
std/stdio.d(3927):        instantiated from here: write!(Foo, char)
foo.d(15):        instantiated from here: writeln!(Foo)
```
