[ITK] [ITK-dev] Deprecated Begin/End in iterators?

[Williams, Norman K]

I ran into this when doing an explicit instantiation of ImageRegionIterator.

Explicit instantiation will elaborate every method in a class, not just the ones that are called, so ImageRegionIterator::Begin (which is deprecated) is implemented by calling Superclass::Begin (which is also deprecated) which throws a compiler warning about the method being deprecated.

My first impulse was to change the implementation to call the non-deprecated Superclass::GoToBegin,  but that’s kind of silly — it’s probably not worth the effort to push through Gerrit.

The real question is this: Why are Begin and End deprecated in the Image Region iterators, and not in all the other classes?  There are a lot of classes that have Begin/End and not GoToBegin and GoToEnd:
