I was wondering if a milder form of deprecation may be appropriate for
some features such as the apply builtin:
1. Add a notice in docstring 'not recommended for new code'
2. Move to 'obsolete' or 'backward compatibility' section in manual
3. Do NOT produce a warning (pychecker may still do that)
4. Do NOT plan removal of feature in a specific future release
