We have rather universal agreement on deprecating view bounds. We are missing a person who has time to deal with the whole deprecation process which in this case would include:

• writing a mini guide which includes rationale for deprecating view bounds and outlines migration strategies (examples discussed in this thread are a good start)
• write a code which warns about view bounds being used
• migrate our own code base so we don't have new deprecation warnings when compiling the library and the compiler
• update the spec
