​Thanks for this link!  ​It will do double duty as a test of
knowledge-enhancing techniques. Assuming that I finally understand it, it
will show how HM actually works.  BTW, I've never found a comprehensible
explanation of HM, so this is a "real" test.  Both the actual code and the
input data are small, which cuts down on the drudgery and improves focus.

Apparently MyPy has type inference as well.

​Yes.  I was thinking of this when I said "​I expect that good work is
coming regarding type inference in Python."  As you know, pep 484
<https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0484/> is inspired by mypy.
