I see a couple of options: 1a: Use a default type annotation, if one is not is supplied. typing.Any would presumably make the most sense. 1b: Use None if not type is supplied. 2: Rework the code to not require annotations at all. 1c: annotate with the string "typing.Any" (this may require a tweak to the rules for evaluating lazy annotations, though)

Good idea, since it needs to be supported, anyway, especially in light of PEP 563.
