The standard library acts as a guide to best practice in Python, and I think that uptake of annotations has been hurt due to the lack of good examples. Also, anyone with the conceit that their library or module may someday be in the standard library cannot afford to use annotations at all.
The idea that decorators determine the meaning of annotations (i.e. they have no meaning without a decorator) really appeals to me. I don't see the imperative for this PEP though, but I'm not opposed. If there were more discussion and consensus on annotations + decorators I'd be more convinced. -eric
