Deprecate input()

[Raymond Hettinger]

The help and tutor maillists indicate that the use of input() rather than
raw_input() is widespread.  I think this function is so harmful and so
likely to be used that it should be deprecated hasta pronto (right away).
When really needed, eval(raw_input()) is easy enough to code and explicit
about what it does.

<no wink -- this function needs to go away>
