Description
[Static typing in python](https://realpython.com/python-type-checking/) (aka PEP-484) is gaining a lot of traction, with linting tools like [mypy](https://mypy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) reaching maturity, and support in IDEs -- like PyCharm, VSCode, and Sublime -- for using pyi stubs to drive code inspection and completion. Stubs are particularly impactful for c/c++ bindings which are opaque to static inspectors.
pyi stub generation is already supported by other python binding generators like pybind11, shiboken, and sip.
