"The main use case of type hinting is static analysis
using an external tool without executing the analyzed

pyflakes [pyflakes] or pylint [pylint] might be extended
to support type checking. New tools, like mypy's mypy -S
mode, can be adopted specifically for this purpose.
So if the purpose is "static analysis", what is the
justification for injecting new syntax into function sigs?
I'm not *TOTALLY* against the idea of "type hints", but i am
*TOTALLY* against their proposed location.
Fine, just write an alternative PEP.
Personally I couldn't give one hoot let alone two whether or not this
proposal ever sees the light of day.
