   What does it mean to "mark" the annotations? I'm not that familiar with the the syntax highlighting, but I think one stage of it tags text as being an operator, numeric literal, string, keyword, etc., then the theme highlights based on matching those.

   Within the arbitrary expression that the type annotations are, it appears to highlight the elements of the expression akin to any other, str, int are builtins, datetime.datetime isn't so it's just "normal". The typing helpers are in the same boat, otherwise "normal" like any non builtin, non keyword.

   

   import datetime
   import typing
   
   class MyDate:
       @classmethod
       def from_datetime(cls, dt: datetime.datetime, do_it: bool = False) -> "MyDate":
           ...
   
       def __init__(
           self, foo: str, bar: typing.Union[None, typing.Iterable, int] = None
       ) -> None:
           ...

   What should that look like?

   Oh, by "mark" I meant "tag" with a class.

   While types are somewhat just arbitrary code they are also indeed types as well, and it would be helpful to mark them as types as well as whatever thing they are normally. In my case I'd like to put a lower opacity on them so my eyes can naturally ignore them while I focus on actual code.
