[Python-Dev] deprecating string module?

Thank you.  Though it is painful to bring up some of these topics (I think
I've caught more than my fair share of arrows recently), I find there's
often a new way to look at things that makes the problem more tractable.

I suggest a migration path from SilentDeprecationWarning to
DeprecationWarning.
