+lifecycle package defines four development stages (experimental, maturing,
+stable, and questioning) and three deprecation stages (soft-deprecated,
+deprecated, and defunct).  It makes it easy to insert badges corresponding to
+these stages in your documentation.  Usage of deprecated functions are
+signalled with increasing levels of non-invasive verbosity.")
