createTopic vs topic can be confusing?

[jgeewax]

Right now, to "create a topic", people jump immediately to createTopic -- which gives them back a topic, but then the second time they try to create a topic, it'll cause problems, right? What people typically want in their code is topic() with {autoCreate: true} ...

So... a couple options

1. Remove / privatize createTopic (why create a topic to not use it...?)
2. Document in createTopic that you probably want topic()
   1. and update topic()'s options to auto-create by default

Thoughts?

I like privatizing createTopic and autocreating by default. RE: "(why create a topic to not use it...?)", should we loop in a Pub/Sub-er to see if we should continue to support that?

Hmm -- I think we're still pretty early, so it's not crazy to deprecate the method, and the "full deprecation" being that it's not longer in the docs. Thoughts?

SGTM.
