You're welcome! And yeah. That union that Cory posted was for *one*
parameter if I remember correctly. I won't speak for Cory, but I'm not
against the type hints in 484 but they will be difficult for us as a
project. They'll be marginally less difficult for me in a different project
of mine.

I also wonder about importing type definitions from other packages. The
Requests-Toolbelt adds a few features that are enhanced versions of what's
already in Requests. I can think of a few type hints that we might create
to represent certain parameters, but I don't want to have to copy those for
the features in the Requests-Toolbelt. I would expect this to "Just Work",
but I wonder if anyone else has considered the possibility of this being a
need.

Cheers,
Ian
