Not quite as simple. I'd need a *copy* of each method (even as an
overload) taking the new Fooing, while the original would be
changed to @Deprecated and left at taking the Foo argument.
@Deprecated void applyRank(Foo rank) { ... blah ... }
void applyRank(Fooing rank) { ... mostly the same blah ... }

We learn from history, that alternatives for canonical names
always get an "Ex" appended... ;) At least, it is then obvious,
which is the older and which the newer... (otoh, consider a
fix for some Color class being called Colour ;-)
