658	DEPRECATED doesn't work for data constructors	ijones	simonpj	"In trying to understand [http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/users_guide/pragmas.html the documentation on pragmas] I could not figure out where to place a pragma of the form:
{{{ {-# DEPRECATED f, C, T ""Don't use these"" #-} }}}

for instance, in Distribution.Setup.hs, I tried to add:
{{{
{-# DEPRECATED CopyPrefix ""Don't use this."" #-}

data CopyDest
  = NoCopyDest
  | CopyTo FilePath
  | CopyPrefix FilePath		-- DEPRECATED
  deriving (Eq, Show)
}}}

but got the error:
{{{
./Distribution/Setup.hs:172:15:
    Not in scope: type constructor or class `CopyPrefix'
}}}"	bug	closed	normal	6.4.2	Compiler	6.4.1	fixed			Unknown/Multiple	Unknown/Multiple		Easy (less than 1 hour)
