Yes, YES, *YES*!!!! That would be my first choice, or docstrings as a secondary. But to introduce new syntax into the method signatures is SUICIDE! What the hell is this man thinking?
You are years late for complaining about new signature syntax. The 'new' annotation syntax was introduced 5+ years ago in 3.0 and is already being used for various purposes, but mostly for type hinting.
The current proposal is to introduce a new module that standardizes the type-hinting use. It is true that it will likely make the use of annotation more common.
