Comment:

 Thanks for the reply. Good hustle.

 I’m quite sympathetic to accepting a Choices class directly here.
 Expressive APIs for the win.
 There is though a constant stream of complaints that run from “Django’s
 loose APIs mean it can’t be typed” to (even) “Django is holding back
 typing in Python” because of this. Generally adding a Union to a type
 isn’t going to please folks concerned about this. However maybe that’s
 Python typing’s problem and not ours 🤔 I’ll cc Adam and let him decide.

 I’m really doubtful about storing references for 3rd party packages. (That
 way lies madness…) Even if we were to add that, the crystal ball 🔮 says
 that the day would arrive when even you’d which you were in control of it.
 But I’ll see
 If others have views…
