No, it's that I want to deprecate "opaque" so that we can catch old
uses that should not be there anymore. If you look at your code and
you decide that "any" is the correct semantics, then fine: change
"opaque" to "any" and the warnings will go away. But relatively few
existing uses of "opaque" really mean "any", and I don't want the
people who are using "opaque" to mean "cstring", "trigger", etc
to keep using "opaque" for those other purposes. The idea here is
to force a security review.
