Yeah, so agreed, this is pretty busy. For such cases, reformatting makes it less confusing (see: Screenshot 1).

While it helps, this sort of best-practice is still unsettled (and apparently not obvious). In the short term it would make more sense to recommend using stub files for all the reason Harry enumerated. Once the best practices are nailed down through experience with stub files, then we can make recommendations regarding inline type hints.
