This patch should implement most of what is necessary
to support pending deprecations.
I called it PendingDeprecationWarning, rather than
SilentDeprecationWarning
as briefly discussed on python-dev.

It seems to describe what it is, rather than what it does.
Includes code & doc changes.

Is there a way to keep PendingDeprecations silent but still
visible (audible?) to PyChecker?

Yes, the warnings can be enabled/disabled.
And I intend to do that.

Cool! I agree with the name change. Check it in!
