There are two ways to apply type hints: 1) Use a new syntax that only works with Python 3 2) Use comments (see my github branch, where comments starting with "type:" can be found)
I used the second approach in order to not break Python 2 compatibility.

Ok, good. I don’t have any issue with experimenting with type hints, and they might be useful. Why don’t you go ahead and submit your patches to gerrit so we can see what they look like and review them there. Doug
