Well considering they are type hints that aren't actually checked then the answer is no.

  That was my take on this too, why do the type hints need to be there for this to work, they don't seem to be involved at all?

    > That was my take on this too, why do the type hints need to be there for this to work Because (1) you need to declare the fields, and (2) it's good to do that in a way that will work with typecheckers even though they are external, and (3) there are actually two particular type declarations that are used by the implementation, even aside from external typecheckers.
