Interest in adding type annotations?

[berquist]

Is there interest in adding type annotations to all functions and methods? Checking them with mypy could be done incrementally, using the same nice framework as in #457.

I'm asking because the types in docstrings are already quite complete and are a good starting point, but introspection is improved by adding annotations and I'd be willing to add them.

As a user of FireWorks, I would be strongly in favor of this and think it’s a great idea. I find type annotations very helpful when debugging.

Same.
