[issue13248] deprecated in 3.2/3.3, should be removed in 3.5 or ???

Martin Panter added the comment:

Another one to deal with one way or the other: html.parser.HTMLParser.unescape()

It is apparently due to be removed in 3.5. It was meant to be an undocumented internal function, and there is now an public alternative. However I would be inclined to leave it around a little longer, because it seems to have been widely recommended for decoding HTML entities in the past (e.g. <https://wiki.python.org/moin/EscapingHtml>), and keeping it would simplify maintaining Python 2 compatible code.
