That wouldn't be a syntax change, that's just a way of making it into a 
comment, which PyChecker could parse. The original discussion was about 
adding declarations to Python itself.

Not that I'm saying that such a directive wouldn't be useful: it would 
be the next best thing to having real declarations.
