Consider dropping the entire section on static checking (including 'sealed')

This section caused mostly confusion and bewilderment, and I don't consider it essential for the PEP. Static checkers have always managed to figure out how best to check existing Python constructs without formal specifications.

Agreed. Perhaps this is also something that might best be put into a separate PEP if we want to follow up on this.

+1 to simplify and use a future PEP if desired.

Agreed. I believe we just inherited it without modification from Ivan's first draft.

Done.
