(1)  Is it really a TypeGuard, or more of a TypeAssertion?
(2)  Does this push too hard on "annotations only have one meaning"?  If it has 
to imported from typing, then probably not, but I think that is worth adding to 
the PEP.
(3)  Why can't the falsey case of an Optional String narrow to a set of 
literals {"", None}  Are you worried that a subclass of str might have its own 
empty string, or just that you don't want to promise this?  As written, it 
sounds like such a narrowing is forbidden.
