I see a couple of options:
1a: Use a default type annotation, if one is not is supplied. typing.Any
would presumably make the most sense.
1b: Use None if not type is supplied.
2: Rework the code to not require annotations at all.


1c: annotate with the string "typing.Any" (this may require a tweak to the
rules for evaluating lazy annotations, though)

Cheers,
Nick.
