un-deprecate :nofail?

[SethTisue]

over at scala/docs.scala-lang#675 I wanted to write e.g.

val x = 1  // compiles
x = 2      // doesn't compile

I wanted to use tut:fail but I can't because not everything in the block fails, only the last thing fails.

@tpolecat suggested using :nofail instead, but it's deprecated. maybe this is a valid use case for it that would justify un-deprecating it? perhaps renaming it at the same time? to, uh, I don't know, :failsome or something.

[tpolecat]

It's deprecated in the sense that it seemed like a mistake at the time. But if it's useful (and it seems to be) then yes let's un-deprecate it.

I'm here all night.

@SethTisue assuming it does the right thing for you I'm happy removing the deprecation language from the readme.

I had a case where I found it useful as well, along the lines of @SethTisue 's example.
