Apologies - I was thinking you were referring to variable annotations (and even there I was forgetting that the proposal had been changed to allow runtime introspection). What I should have said is that annotations do precisely that - they *annotate* the code objects with information. They don't in themselves have semantic consequences (and that's something the various PEPs have been at pains to establish - code that doesn't explicitly introspect the annotations will run the same with or without them).
