Right, that's the minimal work solution: just mark it as deprecated and don't 
change the implementation. Well, minimal work for fromAscii -- the rest of the 
code using it needs to be updated to fromUtf8().

Since it does work properly as "from ASCII", if we choose later that we want 
it, we can un-deprecate it.
