I would like to deprecate some outdated functions in the operator module.
The isSequenceType(), isMappingType(), and isNumberType()
functions never worked reliably and now their
intended purpose has been largely fulfilled by
ABCs.
The isCallable() function has long been deprecated
and I think it's finally time to rip it out.
The repeat() function never really corresponded to an
operator. Instead, it reflected an underlying
implementation detail (namely the naming of the
sq_repeat slot and the abstract C API function
PySequence_Repeat). That functionality is already
exposed by operator.mul:
operator.mul('abc', 3) --> 'abcabcabc'
