Having only followed the AC discussions tangentially, I have to say that the
above suggestion and the given examples make a lot more intuitive sense to me.

I had the same initial thought as Glenn regarding type annotations.  It's fine
that they're separate concepts, but it's also helpful that Larry's suggestion
above seems to align them better.
