I have a problem with Python's `Optional` type. For example for this following code:

   from typing import Optional, Union
   def square(
      a: Union[int, float], 
      b: Optional[int] = 2
   ) -> float:
      c = a**b
      return c

Many type checkers throw an error because `Optional[int]` actually means `int | None` and you cannot square an `int` or a `float` with a `None`. Is there any plans for *ty* around this?
