Thanks to Eric Traut for pointing out that we should specifically address supporting Unpack and the statics, as well as the grammar changes that we will need.

Whoa. Let's wait merging this until we're done discussing the need to support Also, what does "the statics" refer to? (I do agree that it's nice to show the syntax changes needed for PEP 646.) |
Leave in the discussion of how `(int, *Ts) -> bool` is equivalent to various Callable constructions, but remove the requirement to support an explicit `Unpack[Ts]`. Supporting `Unpack` in new syntax shouldn't be necessary since the new callable syntax will ship with support for the new star syntax, so there's no need for having a solution on earlier python versions.

By "the statics" I meant the expected behavior of type checkers (that is, the semantics for correct static analysis). I changed the wording to make that clearer, and took out the part about expecting type checkers to support |
