[Python-Dev] PEP 303: Extend divmod() for Multiple Divisors

[Guido van Rossum]

> Hey, if we'll killing off builtins, I vote for apply().

Agreed, it's redundant.  You can help by checking in documentation
that marks it as deprecated and code that adds a
PendingDeprecationWarning to it (unfortunately it's so common that I
wouldn't want to risk a plain DeprecationWarning).

BTW, I recently find myself longing for an extension of the *args,
**kw syntax, as follows:

  foo(1, 2, 3, *args, 5, 6, 7, **kw)
                      ^^^^^^^
		      This part is currently not allowed.
