When methods are decorated by users (e.g: replaced with an alternate function that delegates back to the original one), type annotations are not carried over to the new function.
Since type checking code relied on dynamically accessing the checked function for the purpose of getting type hints,this resulted in unexpected errors when executing type checking code.
In order to address this, the type checking code now declares a stub function locally with the relevant type information in order to have a reliable/stable source of type annotations (these cannot be constructed dynamically as Python does not expose the necessary constructors).
