Thanks, I apologize for opening this here

an aside, I'd be very careful about using libraries which override type annotations to have custom behaviours -- they're all likely to break in python3.10 (or with from __future__ import annotations)

hmm, good tip. I'll point the library author to it.
Thanks!

Thanks again.
I opened PyCQA/pyflakes#595, hopefully in the correct place this time.

I just want to point out that the wording the discenrs between flake8 and the checks that uses it could maybe be simplified or worded differently.
Something like:

NOTE: flake8 is a linting framework and does not implement any checks

Checks occur via plugins to the flake8 framework, and are not part of it's core.
If you are reporting a problem with a particular check, please track down
the plugin which implements that check. You can do that via its error code prefix letter.
