This feature has not been maintained for many years, but it should be an important functionality for implementing inproc COM servers. To untangle the complex dependencies, it is necessary to refine the implementation through repeated refactoring. I want to express my gratitude to the community for tackling this challenging issue, which will likely take a long time to resolve. |

Deprecate ctypes.DllGetClassObject and ctypes.DllCanUnloadNow, preserving their functionality for now.
Also deprecate the corresponding DLL functions exported from
_ctypes.pyd, so that if someone replaces the hooks and calls the C functions, they still get the warning.Removal is slated for 3.19 per a proposed default deprecation period.
