I argue to restrict to a list for the following reasons:

1. Better to just pick something for visual consistency (someone said they
liked tuples but I find all of the rounded parens confusing)

 2.  May want to use other types for other meanings in the future.

 3. What do you do with the keys of the dictionary? Is this back to
connecting decorators to annotations by name or something? The string
namespace is not very managable.
