This change doesn't make much sense to me unless we also deprecate
the ##sys#-prefixed versions. ##sys#error sounds more "internal" or
"primitive" than "error", so (to me) it makes more sense to have
error be an alias of ##sys#error, instead of the other way around.
I'm not sure deprecating the prefixed versions is worth the hassle,
there are quite a few eggs using ##sys#error and ##sys#warn.
Cheers,
Peter
