Do we think it might be worth starting with the original plan of a PEP that just introduces shorthand syntax (as proposed at the start of this thread)? That would allow us to defer a lot of discussion until later: - How to add support for named / default / variadic arguments, if at all - Whether it's more valuable to support param specs (e.g. for decorators) than ^ - Pradeep's initial analysis of existing packages suggests this may be the case I think the main thing we have to decide is whether we're aligned on any future changes being backward-compatible with shorthand, which rules out strict stub-style syntax with implicit Any but leaves all other options on the table.
