+Deprecated: All vector classes had member functions called `import()`
+to copy elements from a source into the current vector. Unfortunately,
+`import` is a 
+[keyword (of sorts) in C++20](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/keyword/import). 
+While not strictly necessary because we do not use the name in a
+context where it would be recognized as a keyword, it is useful to
+avoid the name nonetheless, if only to avoid confusing readers and
+IDEs. As a consequence, these functions have been renamed to
+`import_elements()`. The old name remains for now, but is deprecated.
