Moving of _pytest.python.Function, *.Class and *.Module in intersphinx dictionary

[robsan00]

I have seen that the references to "_pytest.python.Function", "_pytest.python.Class" and "_pytest.python.Module" have been moved to "pytest.Function", "pytest.Class" and "pytest.Module" in the intersphinx dictionary. Is there any specific reason for that (considering that there are still loads of _pytest... references in the intersphinx dictionary).

From an older intersphinx dictionary, I had cached locally (string unzipped):

We are working on better capturing what is our public API and what is internal (see #7469). As part of this effort I moved links in the reference which are already publicly exposed to their public paths. Names which are not yet exposed were left as-is.

Now that I know about this issue, I will try to keep the next update to one big batch.

Regarding the changes that were already made, does it cause a lot of trouble for you?

No, there is nothing that cannot be fixed with a quick search + replace.

OK, so we'll keep the changes, but as said will try to keep it as one big change next time.
