For Python 3 only.

I'm deferring this to 0.4. I think once #9 is approved and landed, I'll do the 0.3 release and announce it. At that point we should be more or less feature complete I think.

@warsaw, do you want to do this for the 0.6 release or push it out to another release? I've not used type annotations much, so I'd appreciate if you'd take the first cut at it and I can use that work to improve my understanding. I think this work should be simpler now that much of the module logic has been stripped out.

Now that I think about it, I'd like to get 0.6 out, so I'll push this out to the next milestone. We can get to it at any point.

After discussing at Pycon 2019, we decided to use .pyi files here, which can be contributed to typeshed and not include in CPython. That way, we can run mypy over this repository, verifying that our annotations are correct, even though mypy is not integrated with CPython workflow.

We would ship the .pyi file with this distribution and not port it over to CPython. Then when we invert after 3.8 is released, we would just have to keep this repo updated with any typing changes.

I'm deferring this past 1.0 (i.e. Python 3.8 final).

I'm declaring this done as the project runs typechecks against the code base which has some type declarations. Improvements welcome. I'll add a py.typed file.
