So we only add deprecation warning to only times=-1 via keyword or for
all negative numbers to times via keyword?
I mean, what about:
>>> from itertools import repeat
>>> list(repeat('a', times=-2))

File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
OverflowError: Python int too large to convert to C ssize_t
Deprecation warning or not?
