Is that a point in favor? If the syntax could become sugar for creating an Annotated object in __annotations__, this would be a pretty convenient location to find them. On the other hand, not every type hinted variable will have a docstring. It might be inconvenient to have them there only. It seems like storing them in a so called __attr_doc__ might be the most straightforward thing to do. If that were done, does it matter that the contents of __attr_doc__ and __annotations__ are not coupled? The strings might need to be modified. Would be inconvenient to have to modify two places in such a situation.
