I don't see what's wrong with this code, and if one wanted, one could
also implement a decorator which calls warnings.warn when the function
is called:
def c_buffer(init, size=None):
"deprecated, use create_string_buffer instead"
import warnings
warnings.warn("c_buffer is deprecated, use create_string_buffer instead",
DeprecationWarning, stacklevel=2)
return create_string_buffer(init, size)
