What should deepPartial be replaced with?

[EricImpact]

It looks like deepPartial was deprecated in 3.21.0. What should be used instead?

Also just to note that the documentation at https://zod.dev/?id=deeppartial doesn't make any mention of deepPartial being deprecated.

Bumping this. There doesn't seem to be any docs about why it was deprecated or what one should use instead.

im gonna lock versions and just use .deepPartial() I gueess

I noticed in #2106 the maintainer says:

The .deepPartial API has this same problem. I'm deprecating it for the same reason.

However, that issue is about 9 months old and there doesn't appear to be any clarity/ETA on the outcome.

Was about to add yet another not-very-useful "bump" but instead... Can please a maintainer step-in, if only to explain why this is deprecated ? Thanks :)

7 months and 27 bumps later, we're still waiting for someone to correct it 😕

@colinhacks There is a lot of interest here in deepPartial and whatever its replacement should be. Would be great to get some clarification from you.
