Initially I thought so, too. But it seems other people might think this
means "a sequence with the first element being an integer, and the second
a float". The BDFL seems to have yet a different idea:

This is clearly material for a separate PEP, wink wink, nudge nudge.

To the point though. Based on this, and the fact PEP 8 currently disallows
annotations within the standard library, I came to the conclusion that
currently we should not include the annotation-driven form.

Me too. The PEP has been updated to specify that explicitly.
