I've updated the wording to this:

       \item The set of macros \code{RCPP_FUNCTION_} etc ... from the
       \code{preprocessor_generated.h} file will be deprecated in the 
next version
       of \code{Rcpp}, i.e they will still be available but will 
generate some
       warning in addition to their expected behavior.

       In the first release 12 months after now, the macros will be removed
       from \code{Rcpp}.

       Users of these macros (if any) should start replacing them
       with more up to date code, such as using attributes or modules.
     }



Feel free to change it if this does not suit you.

This just makes it slightly more difficult to do, because with my 
proposed approach, I could just have made the changes right after each 
release. But I'll comply with those requirements.
