I think the right fix for that is for the compiler to not complain about deprecated symbol usage if the usage is in the same module the deprecated symbol is defined in.

It should be left enabled if warnings are requested though, IMHO.  I can see deprecating something and wanting to clean my own code of it easily.  Would be embarrassing if my own code still used it.

The problems are:
- even when developing your own library, you'll likely want reminding if you
inadvertently use one of your own deprecated entities
- when you're ready to release a stable version of your product, you ought to
be able to just delete everything that's deprecated and be done with it

Perhaps better would be some form of 'deprecatedly public' as I suggested
once....

Is this really necessary?  It sounds like it could be done using private symbols and public deprecated symbols.

Agreed. And I've heard no complains about this except in this ancient report.
