Optional typing != core Python.


I mean, it's part of the standard library, so we could argue on personal definitions of 'core Python', but it would be more useful to work out exactly what aspects of typing.Final are lacking for you.

Why would this constant annotation need to be more strongly enforced than type checks?  What actual benefit would this provide?
