Just to follow up on this with my current thinking, I am leaning
towards having Py_DivisionWarningFlag disable the suppression of
DeprecationWarning. Since the silencing is new in 2.7, people using -Q
will not see any different semantics than they were with Python 2.6.
Plus if they are bothering to be notified about division warnings they
probably want to know about other warnings as well.
