-        is automatically determined from the deprecated object.
-
-    alternative : str, optional
-        An alternative API that the user may use in place of the deprecated
-        API.  The deprecation warning will tell the user about this alternative

+    Parameters are the same as for `warn_deprecated`, except that *obj_type*
+    defaults to 'class' if decorating a class, 'attribute' if decorating a
+    property, and 'function' otherwise.
