Created attachment 165052 [details] Trivial implementation to show the difference. When a class defines a function as deprecated, that function and any references to it are shown with a strike-through. When a constructor is deprecated, the constructor itself is decorated with a strike-through, but use of that constructor through super doesn't give any indication that you are using something that you should avoid.
