IMHO it would be best to not have deprecated methods in the tab completion to start with.
However, its not trivial to find out that something is deprecated. Of course you can easily check for the decorator, but a method could also end up throwing a deprecation warning because it calls a deprecated method. Or call the deprecation warning in the method body.
