I'm happy to present PEP 526 for your collective review:
Are you hoping to get this in before 3.6 beta? Because I'm not sure I can give this much attention before then, but I really want to.
Yes I am hoping for that. Unlike PEP 484, this PEP is forward-looking (more like PEP 492, async/await), and the sooner we can get it in the sooner people who want to use it won't have to worry about supporting older Python versions. (And am I ever looking forward to the day when Python 3.5 counts as "older". :-) While some of the details are better, this is substantially the same proposal that we discussed at length in python-ideas, starting at https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-ideas/2016-August/041294.html (and you participated vigorously in that thread, so very little in the PEP should be news to you). -- --Guido van Rossum (python.org/~guido)
