In typeshed, there's a few cases of stubs like this:
Ideally, it would be nice to mark
_DoesNotExit
as@type_check_only
to make it clear that this type isn't available at runtime. However, this currently can't be done, because doing so will make stubtest think thatExists
is also@type_check_only
, which sets off alarm bells due toExists
being available at runtime.This PR makes it so stubtest doesn't consider
@type_check_only
-status when checking type alias targets, making it possible to mark types like the above as@type_check_only
.
