For production builds (as opposed to development) GTK_DISABLE_DEPRECATED
should not be used, because it can never be predicted what functions
will be deprecated in the future.

(The alternate to that would be to never add new deprecations, which
would definitely be suboptimal)

it now is much more portable, comprehensive, and easier to use ]
