I don't think it would be possible to support inline typing in module only
distributions, as a random mymod.py in site/dist-packages is hard to trust.
Refactoring into a package is probably the best option. Alternatively, I
believe a mymod_stubs with just an __init__.pyi might work as a work around
as well.
