I merely worry about what happens if people
start relying upon the fact that a float annotation 'will handle all the numbers I care about' to the forgotten Decimal users such as myself.
Well, that's what you get in exchange for "type safety".
Which is exactly why I'm concerned about widespread use of type annotations. Might as well use a static language :-(
