Yes I am hoping for that. Unlike PEP 484, this PEP is forward-looking (more like PEP 492, async/await), and the sooner we can get it in the sooner people who want to use it won't have to worry about supporting older Python versions. (And am I ever looking forward to the day when Python 3.5 counts as "older". :-)

Indeed :-)

Okay, I'll bump it up my list of priorities. (Sleep? Who needs that? :-)
