That's assuming the syntax in the annotations doesn't diverge too much

I'm not too worried about typing. But the hypothetic "def foo(prec:
--precision int):" is already less readable. Will finding the closing
comma or colon always be obvious to the human reader?
To push the limit, let's add some default value:
def foo(prec: --precision int = 123):
...
vs.
def foo(prec: "--precision int" = 123):
...
And if a "type parameter" becomes numeric. For example:
def foo(prec: --max bar 3000 = 123):
...
vs.
def foo(prec: "--max bar 3000" = 123):
...
Now, the quotes seem even more readable as a delimiter.
