+1 Having stub files take precedence over inline annotations would also neatly deal with the annotation compatibility problem (you can use a stub file to annotate code using annotations for another purpose). Another point in favour of that approach: stub files could be evaluated holistically rather than statement at a time, permitting implicit forward references.
