request/response docs don't mention that request.has_key() is deprecated

[anonymous]

Earlier: a short discussion of me solving a problem by using request.has_key("buttonname") to work out which button on a form had been pushed.

23:58 < Magus-> don't use has_key
23:58 < Magus-> it's going away
23:58 < karl> well, can someone update the docs then?
23:58 < karl> there's no indication of @deprecated
23:59 < Magus-> open a ticket for updating the docs :)
23:59 < Magus-> if 'somekey' in request.POST: works fine

Here's the ticket.

Since has_key() exists in Python 2.3, 2.4 and 2.5 and will be in all 2.x releases, it's hardly "going away".
