There are a couple of Sys-functions that got deprecated by removing their documentation from the installation package of ooRexx 5.1.0. Still, these functions get used and it seems that their system-wide functionality cannot be replaced by any of the new ooRexx classes.

The thread in <https://sourceforge.net/p/oorexx/discussion/408478/thread/4d937f7069/?limit=25#c04f> leads to the question:

   "Can't the native functions be undeprecated? It doesn't seem like there is a 
replacement for key
   features they provide, like the ability to share across processes including 
non-Rexx processes
   that can also interact with the underlying operating system objects."

Would there be any downsides, if re-instatitng the documentation of these Sys-functions and formally removing the "deprecate" tag on them?
