-    """A decorator to mark callables as deprecated.
-
-    This decorator logs a deprecation message when the callable it decorates is

-    deprecated, the release where it may be removed and possibly an optional
-    replacement.
-
-    Examples:
-
-    1. Specifying the required deprecated release
-
-    >>> @deprecated(as_of=deprecated.ICEHOUSE)
-    ... def a(): pass
-
-    2. Specifying a replacement:
-
-    >>> @deprecated(as_of=deprecated.ICEHOUSE, in_favor_of='f()')
-    ... def b(): pass
-
-    3. Specifying the release where the functionality may be removed:
-
-    >>> @deprecated(as_of=deprecated.ICEHOUSE, remove_in=+1)
-    ... def c(): pass
-
-    4. Specifying the deprecated functionality will not be removed:
-    >>> @deprecated(as_of=deprecated.ICEHOUSE, remove_in=0)
-    ... def d(): pass
-
-    5. Specifying a replacement, deprecated functionality will not be removed:
