+    been deprecated, and will be removed in a future release.
+    * `jax.lax.dtypes`: use `jax.dtypes` instead.
+    * `jax.lax.itertools`: use `itertools` instead.

+      `standard_primitive`, `standard_unop`, `unop`, and `unop_dtype_rule` are
+      internal utilities, now deprecated without replacement.
