Personally, I prefer shorter names for type variables (also this is what PEP 8 currently recommends).

I followed the convention already established in the file by _UserDictT, _UserListT, and _UserStringT. I think it makes sense to keep it consistent.

If you really hate it as is I can do _OdictT. your call.

There is actually no Copyable protocol in typing, so I would say it is safe to remove it, if it is not defined at runtime.

Note that there are some bugs with self-types in generic types (in mypy). But hopefully most of them will be fixed soon (as soon as I will have time to finish a patch I am working on).

You can add other copy methods in this PR using the current local |
Will do.
I'm probably the wrong guy to head up that PR because I personally find short TypeVar names to be too cryptic, and I independently adopted the same convention used in collections.pyi (especially for self-types). I've always been taught to favor clarity over brevity. |

For what it's worth, I think slightly longer TypeVar names are fine here. |
Counter also inherits from dict and so needs its own copy with self-type.

Solves issue #1642. A previous attempt at this, #1656, added
__copy__but omittedcopy, and it did not properly use self-type.One question regarding the previous PR: should the
__copy__method be in the stubs at all? As far as I can tell,OrderedDictdoes not have a__copy__method. Was adding this a mistake or is it necessary for structural type checking of some sort?
