Better support for deprecated methods

Answered

PyCharm could benefit from better support for marking methods and classes as deprecated.  

Currently, the only way to do so if if the method emits a DeprecationWarning, resulting in somewhat clunky syntax.  Ideally, a decorator could be written to emit that warning while still having PyCharm detect the use of a deprecated method and mark the usage accordingly in the UI with the strikethrough treatment.  Alternatively, just establishing a convention of detecting the usage of any decorated named "deprecated" would suffice and not require as much complex static analysis.  Thanks!
