But there has been a desire to reduce the need for typing module imports in general, and I think eliminating the need to import Annotation for this specific use case might have merit, if is becomes blessed as The Way, and if we think it is a good idea to say to people "hey! providing docstrings for members is a really good practice, and so we're making is super duper easy and standardizing it!"
