Is there a replacement?
Yes. And there always was: In classes this was only an
additional way to do, what should better be done with
inheritance.
That is not my understanding from the linked thread. For
instance, someone said it can be used as a substitute for
multiple inheritance. It seems that anyone using it that way
would be losing working code for no reason due to this
deprecation.
