This is how far I got with this, https://gist.github.com/jarradh/02dd8f5ad07527c9fd10
In the example go through Arguments(i imagine I'll have to apply transform on functiondef later) and apply an explicit transformation, and I manage to apply a Const type to all of them but I got stuck at how to switch based on node._annotype.name since Const instantiates with the name as a value and therefore it's a string type. How can I switch the Const type based on node._annotype.name ? Or is there a better way of going about this?
