I looked at removing the deprecation warning for ' in symbols, while
leaving it documented as deprecated (since we're planning on actually
deprecating it, right?), but new tests prevent that.

Another option would be to completely undeprecate ' in symbols, and
make it a default on feature like indirect or multidimensional, and
disable it for 5.40, since I don't think some of the problem CPAN
distributions will ever be updated by their authors.
