This is purely for SEO as this is the actual generic name for this kind of method and it currently does not appear in a Google search for "python constant time compare". Not creating an issue or setting this up for backports as its trivial (I think) and not a functional change.
* bpo-42272: improve message/module warning filter docs
"The Warnings Filter" section of the warnings module documentation
describes the message and module filters as "a string containing a
regular expression". While that is true when they are arguments to the
filterwarnings function, it is not true when they appear in -W or
$PYTHONWARNINGS where they are matched literally (after stripping any
starting/ending whitespace). Update the documentation to note when they
are matched literally. Also clarify that module matches the
"fully-qualified module name", rather than "module name" which is
ambiguous.

* bpo-42272: remove bad submodule warning filter doc
The `error:::mymodule[.*]` example in the "Describing Warning Filters"
section of the warnings module documentation does not behave as the
comment describes. Since the module portion of the filter string is
interpreted literally, it would match a module with a fully-qualified
name that is literally `mymodule[.*]`.
Unfortunately, there is not a way to match '"module" and any subpackages
of "mymodule"' as documented, since the module part of a filter string
is matched literally. Instead, update the filter and comment to match
only "mymodule".

This is a rework of #5774 on current main. I was a bit more
conservative in making changes than the original PR.
See @csabella's comments on issue #77024 and the discussion
on #5774 for explanations of several of the changes.

As discussed in #92611 and #92564 and as a followup to PR #92612 , this 3.11+ only PR uses the proper `deprecated-removed` role for the modules deprecated by PEP 593 (PEP-594) to clearly indicate to users that a removal version is planned and what it is, so they can prepare accordingly or voice any unanticipated impacts.
Related to #92792 ; if we decide to backport that PR, the upgrade to using `deprecated-removed` on those functions can be moved to this one.
API members documented in sphinx have an object name, which allow the
documentation to be linked from other projects. Sphinx calculates the
object name by prefixing the current module name to the directive
argument, e.g:
.. module:: foo
.. function:: bar.baz
becomes foo.bar.baz. Since these anchors aren't displayed in the
documentation, some mistakes have crept in, namely the Python stdlib
documentation currently contains the objects:
* asyncio.asyncio.subprocess.DEVNULL
* asyncio.asyncio.subprocess.PIPE
* asyncio.asyncio.subprocess.STDOUT
* asyncio.asyncio.subprocess.Process
* multiprocessing.sharedctypes.multiprocessing.Manager
* xml.etree.ElementTree.xml.etree.ElementInclude
This commit fixes this by making use of the :module: option which
without an argument makes sphinx take the directive argument as is
for the object name (avoiding the prefixing of the current module
name that led to these broken object names).
