-### Lazily load subpackages and functions from type stubs
+### Type checkers
 
-Because static type checkers and IDEs will likely be unable to find your
-dynamically declared imports, you can use a [type
-stub](https://mypy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/stubs.html) (`.pyi` file) to declare
-the imports. However, if used with the above pattern, this results in code
-duplication, as you now need to declare your submodules and attributes in two places.
+Static type checkers and IDEs cannot infer type information from
+lazily loaded imports. As a workaround you can load [type
+stubs](https://mypy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/stubs.html) (`.pyi`
+files) with `lazy.attach_stub`.
 
-You can infer the `submodules` and `submod_attrs` arguments (explicitly provided
-above to `lazy.attach`) from a stub adjacent to the `.py` file by using the
-`lazy.attach_stub` function.
-
-Carrying on with the example above:
-
-The `skimage/filters/__init__.py` module would be declared as such:
-
-```python
-from ..util import lazy
-
-__getattr__, __dir__, __all__ = lazy.attach_stub(__name__, __file__)
-```
-
-... and the adjacent `skimage/filters/__init__.pyi` stub would contain:
-
-```python
-from . import rank
-from ._gaussian import gaussian, difference_of_gaussians
-from .edges import (sobel, scharr, prewitt, roberts,
-                    laplace, farid)
-```
-
-Note that in order for this to work, you must be sure to include the `.pyi`
-files in your package distribution. For example, with setuptools, you would need
-to [set the `package_data`
-option](https://setuptools.pypa.io/en/latest/userguide/datafiles.html#package-data)
-to include `*.pyi` files.
+The SPEC [describes this workaround in more
+detail](https://scientific-python.org/specs/spec-0001/#type-checkers).
