Description

I would love to see aliases that are for example typos get an @deprecated.

Currently, we can only deprecate a whole icon but not an alias.

Use cases

#1956 thank you @devjayprakash for bringing this to our attention.

A solution could be to change the type of the depracated field from boolean to array or to add a new field called depracatedAliases.

As I've stated on Discord, this doesn't really suffice, a description should also be provided why this icon/alias was deprecated in the first place and what steps should be taken.

What about this

{
  name: 'turtle',
  depracated: true,
  depracationReason: "I don't like turtles.",
  aliases: [
    {
      name: 'turdle',
      depracated: true,
      depracationReason: "Spelling mistake.",
    }
  ]
}

Apart from the typos, yeah. We could even keep support for the current version:

{
  name: 'turtle',
  deprecated: true,
  deprecationReason: "I don't like turtles.",
  aliases: [
    'tortoise',
    {
      name: 'turdle',
      deprecated: true,
      deprecationReason: "Spelling mistake.",
    }
  ]
}
