    Once all traces of module_repr() are gone, raise an ImportWarning when using module_repr().

    Once this is implemented and has been out in the wild for a sufficient amount of time, it should be switching to a DeprecationWarning and then the fallback eventually removed.

    Should try to use __spec__ first, but if it isn't set then fall back on module_repr() and raise an ImportWarning. See Lib/importlib/_bootstrap.py:_module_repr.

    Thinking about it more, raising ImportWarning (or DeprecationWarning) is unnecessarily noisy as the existence of the module isn't problematic, it just won't be used anymore in the future. So updating the code to use __spec__ first and then document in "What's New" should be good enough.

    Meant to say, "existence of the _method_ isn't problematic".
