I don't have enough knowledge of typing to review these changes. @kdeldycke |

Same thing here, my brain breaks a bit with these kind of high-level typing. So no strong technical opinion on my side: the tests pass, the type checker is happy, the code does not introduce any malware, is purely type checking, and @jorenham already demonstrated reactivity and seriousness. So based on these circumstantial evidences, I would merge it and go ahead! Let's clear the backlog! 🤠 |

The generic types in
click.typeswere all parametrized using an invariant type parameter. This can easily lead to unexpected type errors for downstream users. For example, type-checkers would not allow you to assignParamType[bool]to anParamType[int], even thoughboolis a subclass ofint. This addresses these issues by using appropriate variance for these generic type parameters.This also fixes several other typing issues, removing several
# type: ignores andt,casts.I also took the parametrize some of the typed dicts, avoid several (intrinsically type-unsafe)
Anyannotations.And just like #3422, this also fills in the missing annotations of attributes and constants. This consequently increases the type coverage by 2.18% (91.5% -> 93.68%).
I realize there are quite a lot of changes here. But I was afraid that spreading these out over multiple PRs would result in a merge conflict mess. But if you want me to split this up anyway, then that's also fine as far as I'm concerned.
