"""Function Annotations.

@see: https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/controlflow.html#function-annotations

Function annotations are completely optional metadata information about the types used

by user-defined functions.

Annotations are stored in the __annotations__ attribute of the function as a dictionary and have no

effect on any other part of the function. Parameter annotations are defined by a colon after the

parameter name, followed by an expression evaluating to the value of the annotation. Return

annotations are defined by a literal ->, followed by an expression, between the parameter list and

the colon denoting the end of the def statement.
