This allows for e.g. Jedi to infer types (it checks the name).
It was only used to support Python 3.5.0/3.5.1, where this is is not
available in the `typing` module.
Ref: https://github.com/davidhalter/jedi/issues/1472
Uses `TYPE_CHECKING = False` in `_pytest.outcomes` to avoid having to
work around circular import.
The previous test was better in that it used fakes to test all of the
real code paths. The problem with that is that it makes it impossible to
simplify the code with `isinstance` checks. So let's just simulate the
issue directly with a monkeypatch.
The typing module on these versions have these issues:
- `typing.Pattern` cannot appear in a Union since it is not considered a
class.
- `@overload` is not supported in runtime. (On the other hand, mypy
doesn't support putting it under `if False`, so we need some runtime
hack).
Refs #5751.
Add a very lax mypy configuration, add it to tox -e linting, and
fix/ignore the few errors that come up. The idea is to get it running
before diving in too much.
This enables:
- Progressively adding type annotations and enabling more strict
options, which will improve the codebase (IMO).
- Annotating the public API in-line, and eventually exposing it to
library users who use type checkers (with a py.typed file).
Though, none of this is done yet.

- I wrote a thing: https://github.com/asottile/dead
- wanted to try it out, there's lots of false positives and I didn't look
through all the things it pointed out but here's some
