Feature or enhancement

Proposal:

This is a feature proposal for allowing python3 -m json to work in addition to python -m json.tool and softly deprecating the use of python3 -m json.tool.

I made a branch to see what these changes might look like.

Here is a separate branch which issues a DeprecationWarning .
However, since json.tool will continue working that warning may cause more hassle for end users than is worthwhile.

I think the no-warning approach may be more sensible.

Has this already been discussed elsewhere?

I have already discussed this feature proposal on Discourse
