Description:
mysql_reload() was removed in 8.3.x, so it should have a note in the 8.0 docs.

Note that https://dev.mysql.com/doc/c-api/8.0/en/mysql-reload.html has this:

"This function is deprecated. Use mysql_real_query() or mysql_query() to issue an SQL FLUSH PRIVILEGES statement instead."

However this is part of the description and not labeled as a note. https://dev.mysql.com/doc/c-api/8.0/en/mysql-list-fields.html has a blue-ish Note.
