As mentioned previously in this thread, typing.get_type_hints() is opinionated in ways that users of annotations may not want.
This brings us back to my idea of introducing a new annotations() function to hide the details. It wouldn't be the same as get_type_hints(), since it wouldn't make any assumptions about what the annotations mean.
I think it's simpler and nicer for the user to preserve the existing interface, so I'm sticking with that approach. If you feel strongly about this, I encourage you to write your own competing PEP. //arry/
