The classmethod and staticmethod objects already have a getter for 
__isabstractmethod__ that forwards to the underlying object, so they 
should just need a setter as well, right?

I also have no strong opinion about deprecation. But fixing this seems 
pretty straightforward and may be a good task for someone's first C 
contribution?
