And if you tag it @deprecated in the comment VSCode will strike through all the references and imports.
Comment pro-tip: If you use the /** syntax instead of the // syntax, your comments will be treated as JSDoc and appear in the tooltip for the thing you're commenting throughout the entire codebase. Handy for providing context.
