[ncoghlan]

inspect.getargvalues() and inspect.formatargvalues() were deprecated in Python 3.5 as part of implementing bpo-20438

This is incorrect, as these are *frame* introspection related functions, not callable introspection ones. The documentation and implementation layout is confusing though, as they're interleaved with the callable introspection operations.
