Research direction

Start by reviewing the example conftest linked in the issue and the pytest plugin entrypoint idea, including the proposed pytest_pyannotate module and --pyannotate command. Compare the approach with the referenced MonkeyType discussion. Done should mean an agreed plugin design that makes the existing annotation workflow available through pytest automatically.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

There's an example conftest (https://github.com/dropbox/pyannotate/issues/11), but it would be possible to ship a pytest entrypoint plugin (via e.g. a pytest_pyannotate module), that could be used via pytest --pyannotate then automatically.

I'd be happy to add it, but wanted to ask for feedback first.

Just for reference: https://github.com/Instagram/MonkeyType/issues/25
