Personally, I’m skeptical of any proposal to change Python to make it
easier for IDEs.

But there *may* be other good reasons to do something like this. I’m not a
static typing guy, but it segg do me that it could be useful to subtype
strings:

This function expects an SQL string.

This function returns an SQL string.

Maybe not worth the overhead, but worth more than giving IDEs hints SATO
what to do.
