So would I, and this was what I originally proposed (removing the use
of apply() altogether).  There was some objection to this, mostly
based on PEP 291.  It wasn't clear how many people actually cared
about this case, and I don't recall seeing Vinay chime in.

On the other hand, I find I'm not really a fan of deprecating apply()
in the first place, so I can think of other solutions.  ;-)
