[Python-Dev] PEP 563: Postponed Evaluation of Annotations

[Guido van Rossum]

If we have to change the name I'd vote for string_annotations -- "lazy" has
too many other connotations (e.g. it might cause people to think it's the
thunks). I find str_annotations too abbreviated, and stringify_annotations
is too hard to spell.
