[Python-Dev] Deprecate PyNumber_Long?

Now that all uses of nb_long and __long__ have disappeared from
the 3.x codebase, would it make sense to mark PyNumber_Long
as deprecated in the c-api documentation, and convert all existing
uses (I count a grand total of 3 uses in the py3k branch!) to
PyNumber_Int?

(The two functions behave identically:  PyNumber_Int is a macro
that's #defined to expand to PyNumber_Long.)
