I'm having a hard time coming up with good wording for the deprecation message. This is what I've got so far; any suggestions for improvements? "Doing substitutions by calling a symbolic expression is deprecated; use EXPR.subs(x=..., y=...) instead" Is there a way to make it clear in this message that we're not deprecating EXPR(x=...)? (At least I assume we're not.) And should the recommended replacement be EXPR.subs(x=..., y=...) or EXPR(x=..., y=...)?
