Re: [Python-ideas] Deprecate dunder functions from operator module

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.
