    Used to mark a function as deprecated.

    To mark an attribute as deprecated, replace that attribute with a
    depcrecated property.

    Parameters
    ------------
    since : str
        The release at which this API became deprecated.  This is required.

    message : str, optional
        Override the default deprecation message.  The format specifier
        %(func)s may be used for the name of the function, and %(alternative)s
        may be used in the deprecation message to insert the name of an
        alternative to the deprecated function.

    name : str, optional
        The name of the deprecated function; if not provided the name is
        automatically determined from the passed in function, though this is
        useful in the case of renamed functions, where the new function is just
        assigned to the name of the deprecated function.  For example:
            def new_function():
                ...
            oldFunction = new_function

    alternative : str, optional
        An alternative function that the user may use in place of the
        deprecated function.  The deprecation warning will tell the user about
        this alternative if provided.

    pending : bool, optional
        If True, uses a PyfitsPendingDeprecationWarning instead of a
        PyfitsDeprecationWarning.
