[New-bugs-announce] [issue30085] Discourage operator.__dunder__ functions

[Steven D'Aprano]

New submission from Steven D'Aprano:

As discussed on the Python-Ideas mailing list, it is time to discourage the use of operator.__dunder__ functions. Not to remove them or deprecate them, just change the documentation to make it clear that the dunderless versions are preferred.

Guido +1'ed this suggestion, and there were no objections:
