I propose a few things:
* institute a policy that, in the event of a new function being added to the operator module, only the dunderless version will be added;
* change the documentation to make it clear that the dunderless versions should be used, rather than merely being "convenience" functions;
* add a prominent note that the dunder versions exist for backwards compatibility only and should not be used in new code.
+1
+0 from me (I agree the dunder versions are likely pointless, but I also think they're pretty harmless). Cheers, Nick. -- Nick Coghlan | ncoghlan@gmail.com | Brisbane, Australia
