Deprecate procedure syntax #7605

@scabug

Description

@scabug

The special procedure syntax has been a constant source of trouble and confusion for people learning Scala, while providing no benefit except a few saved characters over using the standard method syntax.

To not cause pointless work for people, this migration has to happen in multiple steps:

  • Update the style guide and the specification
  • Update tools (IDEs, Scalariform, ...)
  • Deprecate procedure syntax
