Type hints are just that - hints. They have no syntactic meaning to the
parser, and do not affect the execution path in any way. Therefore, they
are effectively and actually comments. The way they have been
implemented, though, causes noise to be interspersed with live code and,
as others have said, are difficult to remove or ignore.
