    Deprecated.
    This method is not used by HAPI at this point, so there isn't much point to keeping it around. We are not deleting it just so that we don't break existing implementer code, but you do not need to supply an implementation of this code in your own structures. Deprecated in HAPI FHIR 2.3 (Jan 2017). See See for a discussion about this.
