Adding a warning sounds like a good idea.

Hmm, do you think that will work? I had tried the following[1]:

   \cs_if_exist:NF \ior_str_get:NN { \cs_new_eq:NN \ior_str_get:NN \ior_get=
_str:NN }

However, while this worked fine with older LaTeX distributions, the
user with a newer distribution reported the following error:

   Runaway argument?
   {\cs_new_eq:NN \ior_str_get:NN
   ! Forbidden control sequence found while scanning use of \use_i:nn.
   <inserted text>
   \par
   l.34 ..._new_eq:NN \ior_str_get:NN \ior_get_str:NN
   }

I have no idea why that error is happening here, it must have something
to do with the code to emit the deprecation warning.

Maybe \cs_set_eq:NN will behave better, I can try that later.

Regards,
Benjamin
