The parser module exports each function and type twice, once with "AST" in the name, once with "ST". Since "AST" now has a different meaning for Python code compilation, I propose to deprecate the "ast" variants in 2.6 and remove them in Python 3000.

I'm at the moment changing the documentation of parser to only refer to the "st" variants anymore.
