We should rename "types" to "accept". "accept" should takes a set of types; these types specify the types of Python objects the Clinic parameter should accept. For the funny pseudo-types needed in some Clinic declarations ("buffer", "robuffer", and "rwbuffer"), Clinic provides empty class declarations so these behave like types too.
Having only followed the AC discussions tangentially, I have to say that the above suggestion and the given examples make a lot more intuitive sense to me. I had the same initial thought as Glenn regarding type annotations. It's fine that they're separate concepts, but it's also helpful that Larry's suggestion above seems to align them better.
