I'd like to request that the TC consider adoption of a new chapter in the typing spec that spells out type checking behaviors related to constructor calls.

Current Type Checker Behaviors
None of the type checkers fully comply with the proposed behavior.
I haven't written a full test suite, but I created a partial suite to test current behaviors. Here are the results.

Controversial Issues There is one potentially controversial issue related to the handling of a metaclass __call__ that has a return type (implicit or explicit) of Any or a union that includes Any. If you're interested in the details, refer to the discussion thread.
EDIT: We've resolved this issue through a compromise suggested by Rebecca. This is reflected in the latest draft.
