Since Python 2.5, we maintain two versions of PyArg_ParseTuple: one outputting int; the other one outputting Py_ssize_t.
The former should have been removed in 3.0, but this was forgotten. Still, I would like people to move over to the new version, so that extension modules will typically support 64-bit collections well. Therefore, I'd like to propose that the int version is deprecated in 3.3. Given the recent discussion about backwards compatibility: what's the best approach? What warning should be emitted, if any? (the warning would only be generated if an s# or similar format was actually encountered - not just if merely PyArg_ParseTuple is called).
