typing: add `from __future__ import annotations` to most files Now that py36 is no longer supported, we can postpone annotation evaluation. This means that the quoting is usually optional (for things imported under the guard of `if typing.TYPE_CHECKING:` to avoid circular imports), and there's less overhead on startup[1]. There may be some missing here. I backed out 6000f5b25c9b (which removed the `from __future__ import ...` that was supporting py2), reverted the changes in `contrib/`, `doc/`, and `tests/`, and then ran: $ hg status -n --change . | \ xargs sed -i -e 's/from __future__ import .*$/from __future__ import annotations/' There were some minor tweaks needed when reviewing (mostly making the spacing around the import consistent, and `mercurial/testing/__init__.py` had a multiline import that wasn't fully rewritten.
