I'm very much in favour of the this concept. A few points come to mind
right away:


1. Backwards Compatibility

Given get_type_hints can be provided localns argument, this statement
is not exactly true.

Using localns is how I currently address scoping issues when affixing
type hints. Maybe it could be argued that I'm abusing this feature, but
then I would ask what the intent of localns is if not to provide
additional (missing) scope during type hint evaluation?

Under PEP 649, when __co_annotations__ is called (presumably by calling
get_type_hints), would localns effectively be ignored?


2. __co_annotations__ scope?

I'm wondering why __co_annotations__ function could not be scoped
(within a closure?) such that it can access the values where the
function, method, class or module are being declared? I acknowledge
that I'm railing against PEP 563 again, trying to reclaim lost ground.
