Hi Stéfan,
To what potential PEP are you referring exactly? Type arithmetic or
automatically interpret `1` as `Literal[1]` wherever it makes sense?
Indeed to have a common repository with an initial document would be a
good way to go. So far we did not start anything because the PEP on
Variadics was still waiting for appoval. However, we also wanted to
make sure that Numpy folks believe that this approach towards type
arithmetic makes sense for their use cases.
Maybe we could sync on this on the next Numpy Development meeting?
Best,
Alfonso.

First of all, when talking about type arithmetic I suggest to
refer to the latest presentation for the summit rather than from
the Tensor Typing Meetings
(https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1NZzZfbUCXi78LDDe8C3hAaK9on8ZiX3Z2k4BlZXwsJ8/edit). Here I intentionally refer to the +,-,*,// syntax rather than the Add[] one. Moreover, I also write 1 + A rather than Literal[1] + A, assuming that we could write a PEP for enabling this behavior if needed, and as Matthew said, it seems feasible based on what was said in the
summit.
This PEP sounds like it is of some interest to many of us. Would
it make sense to start a repository with an initial document that we
can iterate on, or how do you typically develop these?
