Hm, I now noticed that Shell doesn't actually display the deprecation
warning although it's documented to do so in pod/perl5120delta.pod.

This seems unintentional; I've just notified upstream. We'll see if it means
the Shell deprecation must be delayed by one upstream release or not. Not
sure if that necessarily affects what we do.
