I'm definitely there: anything which optimizes machine-readabilty over
readability for the Mark 1 eyeball is a lose.

I’m still -1 on adding annotations to the stdlib, despite their increasing use

I agree with Steve. There is *cognitive* overhead to type annotations.
I find that they make Python code harder to read and understand. So I
object to them in the documentation and docstrings as well. (Note:
while I agree that the notation is compact for the simple types, the
fact that it would
While I appreciate the value of annotations I think that *any* addition of
them to the stdlib would complicate an important learning resource
unnecessarily. S

Related to annotations, are you ok to annotate basic types in the
*documentation* and/or *docstrings* of the standard library?
For example, I chose to document the return type of time.time() (int)
and time.time_ns() (float). It's short and I like how it's formatted.

Hi,
While discussions on the typing module are still hot, what do you
think of allowing annotations in the standard libraries, but limited
to a few basic types:
* None
* bool, int, float, complex
* bytes, bytearray
* str
I'm not sure about container types like tuple, list, dict, set,
frozenset.
