Reading the documentation should correct that mistaken expectation.
If you need to read the documentation in order to understand a product,
something's wrong. Especially given the simplicity of the examples.
Some smartphones are delivered without a manual because they are
considered to be as intuitive as breathing or walking.
Type annotations are code, not tests.
Not in Python they aren't.
Unfortunately, that's not true. :)
