Summary: "new" not marked as deprecated in the docs

Initial Comment:
While

>>> help('new')

shows the deprecation of this module starting with 2.3,
the docs at

http://www.python.org/doc/current/lib/module-new.html

don't. Shouldn't they?

Shouldn't it be deprecated? Look at the code in new.py.

The only thing I can say in favour of new is that
new.instancemethod() is prettier and clearer than
types.MethodType().

The new module should not be deprecated yet; it is
help("new") that should be fixed.
