Deprecate var, invoke, assign

See original GitHub issue

With the new $ <code> syntax, we have a better way to add JS to a template and no longer need these tags. We do want to make them available for the v3 -> v4 migration. Should we just add a deprecation warning or split them out into a marko-v3-compat package?

The introduction of $ var flavor=input.someFunc() kill the template and you end up with PHP all over again.

Let’s be honest here: We don’t get PHP simply because of <? ?> tags. Unless you consider Ruby on Rails and ERB to be PHP as well!

I do find the <var x=10>...</var> feature interesting. To avoid potential confusion with JS, maybe you could rename it to something like <scoped x=10>, for those who want that feature.

I think a migration package is a good idea. If one intends to move from v3 to v4, installing a package would be the least of those efforts.

What do you mean by sub packages that export tags?
