This should be fine, but let me open an issue to give people a chance to object.

@BvB93 actually would you mind making a separate PR just to add typing_extensions? Assuming no objections on https://github.com/numpy/numpy-stubs/issues/60 (unlikely I think) we can get it in asap-there have been a number of places where it would be useful.

No problem, I've just created the pull request at https://github.com/numpy/numpy-stubs/pull/63.

I see that the diff here has become quite large-I would appreciate it if you could split this into several smaller PRs. (At the end of a work day it's easier to motivate myself to review small pieces of code.)

No problem, I'll create a new (smaller) pull request later today with the first set of changes.
