I understand your pov but, in mine, there's no reason to artificially =
consider internal functions as untyped by adding another =
mostly-redundant mechanism for internal type hinting. If nothing =
existed, this would be fine, but if we split ZPP and type hinting info, =
we're creating a redundancy we'll pull behind us forever.
