We often use a construct like -> int | Any when we want to say -> int | None, but can't for some reason. I'd like to propose a new type alias MaybeNone: TypeAlias = Any to _typeshed (name subject to discussion) to mark such occurrences. This would help document the reason Any is used and could help us if something like python/typing#566 is ever implemented.

We previously discussed this in #7870, but couldn't come to an agreement on what the best name would be, IIRC
