The first commit cleans up some old feature that slightly interfered with the types. The second commit adds annotations to the argument parsing code.

This feature was added in commit
007a77c, but was never used in pytest
itself. A GitHub code search doesn't find any users either (only pytest
repo copies). It seems safe to clean up.

Would be great if attrs could be typed. Would be the same as with Argument.__init__'s attrs then.

Yeah, TypeScript has this feature, but mypy doesn't AFAIK. The other option is to duplicate, but I wouldn't want to do that.

Could a typevar be used here, to be used in those (3+) places?
But this could also be done later anyway - I've just thought it would be really helpful with completion of those functions.
(You have probably noticed also that documentation in this regard is outdated etc, and it's messy in general, so that would help there.)

Not that I know of...

@blueyed I missed a couple of places that can take a py.path.local arg, so I fixed them. Also updated a doc link.

How does that behave by now? IIRC it's handled as Any still?
From a quick check it means that also a: Any = "foo" is valid there then also.

I think it makes sense therefore to type py.path.local after all?
Could we include a .pyi file in pytest for it?
(but that's for another issue, this PR is good!)

It's still Any. But for now I think it might be better to just use it anyway, even if it's unchecked, just for reference.

That would be good, it does show up everywhere in pytest.

I'm not entirely sure we should add it in pytest - what would happen when we finally publish our types and a user encounters py.path.local type? I don't think the pytest one will be used, or should be used. So it might work for local development, but will be better to add to py itself.
