exactly. yay stub files! we all agree! everyone loves them! boo type annotations inline in python source. only some people love them. and even then, only after a while, and only tentatively... and some people fear them, mightily...

I think while the authors are currently seeing stubs as a necessary evil they're missing points where they're a better backwards compatible solution for people who want to give users with capable IDEs the ability to use stub (or hint) files.
