use Python's native `@deprecated` decorator #204

Starting in Python 3.13, there will be a native @deprecated decorator. This should be used instead of merely printing deprecation warnings (using print), as such usages can be caught by automation tools.

It's good to have this on record, but I'm assuming we will only start assuming a basic version of Python 3.13 several years from now.
