I'd like to reverse my stance on this. We had `from __future__ import
division` for many years in Python 2, and nobody argued that it implied
that Python 2 doesn't have division -- it just meant to import the future
*version* of division. So I think the original idea, `from __future__
import annotations` is fine. I don't expect there will be *other* things
related to annotations that we'll be importing from the future.
