SELECTINTO is. There are various source code comments about this, but the SELECT INTO reference page only contains
softlanguage like "recommended". I'm proposing the attached patch to stick a more explicit deprecation notice right at
thetop.
+ This command is deprecated. Use <link
Should this get similar strong wording to other deprecated things where we add
"..and may/will eventually be removed"?

Hereis a patch to adjust those to CREATE TABLE AS.
I didn't scan for others, but the ones included in the 0001 patch all looks
fine and IMO improves readability.
