Framework for adding strict typing to python.

Python’s flexable duck typing system is great for allowing people to write generic funcitons which can be re-used with various kinds of input. However, not all functions are written with this generality in mind.

By annotating your functions you give a clear signal to callers about what inputs are expected. Additionally, annotations can help you write functions with fewer type checking conditionals. Annotations allow you to find bugs at the top of your functions rather than in the middle of a calculation.
