That's not a bug, that's a feature.

It's been stated many times by Guido that it's far too early to 
standardize on a single meaning for annotations. (We may *never* 
standardize on a single meaning.) Instead, it is up to the library or 
decorator to impose whatever meaning makes sense for that particular 
library or decorator.
