[net-dns-users] sep() and is_sep()

[Dick Franks]

Calle makes a good point; and it was my fault entirely.

The 3rd party back-compatibility issue did not cross my mind when I did
that.

Cleanest solution would be to reissue with warning removed. We can put it
back when 0.17 get consigned to oblivion in BACKPAN.

Messy workarounds always seem to find a way to bite someone, somewhere,
eventually.
