    The interface to recording information on the SYS:%SOURCE plist for a
    symbol is now deprecated and will be removed with abcl-1.7.
    
    Implementation
    --------------
    
    Source information for ABCL is now recorded on the SYS::SOURCE
    property.  The appropiate information for type is recorded by the
    SYS::RECORD-SOURCE-INFORMATION-BY-TYPE function:
    
        record-source-information-by-type (name type &optional source-pathname source-position)
    
    TYPE is either a symbol or list.
    
    Source information for functions, methods, and generic functions are
    represented as lists of the following form:
    
        (:generic-function function-name)
        (:function function-name)
        (:method method-name qualifiers specializers)
    
    Where FUNCTION-NAME or METHOD-NAME can be a either be of the form
    'symbol or '(setf symbol).
    
    Source information for all other forms have a symbol for TYPE which is
    one of the following:
    
    :class, :variable, :condition, :constant,...
