Fixes #39411
Implemented deprecation for handling negative k values passed to Combinations(mset, k),
Added an
allow_negative
keyword argument:Updated the implementation to use a helper method
_handle_negative_k
in the base class Combinations_msetk to avoid code duplication( especially while giving warnings, had issues with this while testing). Ensuring the same, added a flag_issued_negative_k_warning
to ensure the deprecation warning is only shown once per object.Added doctests for this new behaviour.
