Now that all uses of nblong and long have disappeared from the 3.x codebase, would it make sense to mark PyNumberLong 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 PyNumberInt?

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

Assuming we have been moving the C API usage to PyInt and not PyLong, then yes it makes sense.
