[New-bugs-announce] [issue31985] Deprecate/remove aifc.openfp

[Brian Curtin]

New submission from Brian Curtin <brian at python.org>:

Since 1993, aifc.openfp has simply pointed to aifc.open as a matter of backwards compatibility. See https://github.com/python/cpython/commit/7bc817d5ba917528e8bd07ec461c635291e7b06a for the exact change.

aifc.openfp is both undocumented and untested, and in looking at doc coverage I decided it's better to deprecate it since it's silently been there for 25 years.
