@zeevox of SentiPy and Sentiment Investor fame kindly requested automation to automagically decorate all callables in a given package with @beartype without needing to explicitly do so:

Is it necessary to annotate each function with @beartype? Is there a way of more concisely adding beartype everywhere automagically?

This feature request tracks our eventual (hopefully not too eventual) solution: a beartype import hook. Specifically:

• We need to implement a new AST-based beartype.hook.beartype_everything() import hook inspired by typeguard's comparable typeguard.importhook.install_import_hook() function. That's only 162 lines of pure Python, which means this is mostly trivial, but it's a dense 162 lines, which means this might take an undefinable quantum of space-time.
• Interested third parties will then call our import hook at the top of their top-level __init__ submodules to globally and transparently apply @beartype across their entire codebases.

Grab that popcorn! @leycec's Wild Ride is now boarding for an improved @beartype user experience (UX).
