I submitted https://github.com/python/typeshed/pull/5675 to fix this in typeshed. But I agree with your larger point that this would be easier if we had `Self`.

Thanks for this. I really had no idea how to get this annotation to work. In hindsight it’s more obvious. I wonder how many other typeshed classes don’t do this for methods that return self.

It was only after seeing the solution that I could find docs describing it on mypy.readthedocs. There is a note claiming that a generic self is still experimental but maybe a convention should be added to the typeshed contributing guide about using it, just like Sequence is recommended over list.
