2.6 lib ref builtin types, mappings, has_key doc now says
"dict.has_key(key) is equivalent to key in d, but deprecated."
Posters on c.l.p found this confusing.  Which is deprecated?
I agree that this could be confusing to a beginner.

D'Arcy J.M. Cain suggests
"dict.has_key(key) is deprecated.  Use "key in dict" instead."
Or "Use the replacement ..."
Or "Use the new version ..."
