-For historical reasons, {\tt context} used to consider $n$-ary applications
-such as {\tt (f 1 2)} as a whole, and not as a sequence of unary
-applications {\tt ((f 1) 2)}. Hence {\tt context [f ?x]} would fail
-to find a matching subterm in {\tt (f 1 2)}: if the pattern was a partial
-application, the matched subterms would have necessarily been
-applications with exactly the same number of arguments.
-As a workaround, one could use the following variant of {\tt context}:
-\begin{quote}
-{\tt appcontext} {\ident} {\tt [} {\cpattern} {\tt ]}
-\end{quote}
-This syntax is now deprecated, as {\tt context} behaves as intended. The former
-behavior can be retrieved with the {\tt Tactic Compat Context} flag.
