Documentation

The current docs only specify that it sets the __deprecated__ attribute on the deprecated item.

Pydantic relies on its full API: the fact that it’s a class, and that its instances have all passed parameters in attributes: deprecated(**kw).__dict__ == kw basically.

Two questions:

1. Is that safe or might deprecated get e.g. refactored into a function at some point?
2. Can we subclass it and add parameters? Will type checkers understand this and still mark a @our_deprecated_subclass(...) def ... as deprecated? See How to extend warnings.deprecated? typing#2256

maybe related to #138165
