Mark, I think you can reopen the PR and merge it in 3.9 now.

As for my proposition to use the FutureWarning first, I think it is not 
necessary. The behavior change is very subtle and will affects only int 
subclasses with overridden __index__. Similar changes (preferring __index__ 
over __int__) have been made in 3.8 without preceding FutureWarning. And 
similar minor changes were made in the past.

On other hand, I am not sure that __index__ should be used for int subclasses. 
We already have the int content, so we can create an exact int with 
_PyLong_Copy().
