This ensures that if any dynamic type is supported by a method, it will be indicated using the new
any
placeholder.This solves an ambiguity in documentation so we can differentiate between methods which return
()
(empty tuple) and any value likeclone
above.Eventually with gradual typing this is expected to become a proper
any
type that can be used which essentially disables type checking.Once it is a proper type it should also be documented.
