If we have to change the name I'd vote for stringannotations -- "lazy" has too many other connotations (e.g. it might cause people to think it's the thunks). I find strannotations too abbreviated, and stringifyannotations is too hard to spell.

Aye, I'd be fine with "from future import string_annotations" - that's even more explicitly self-documenting than either of my suggestions.

Cheers, Nick.
