Surely there already is a built in for that, not quite as short as “All” but shorter than “typing.Any”: “object”. Avoids keyword pollution, already has clear meaning.

If we can replace Callable[[type1], type2] with (type1) -> type2 and typing.Any with just soft keyword “All”, type annotations will be fun!
