I doubt it's very much useful for contracts and it only works with 1.18+ that has appropriate data in the AST, but we can consider it in some future.

@roman-khimov commented on GitHub (Nov 11, 2022):

There is a place where they can be very useful to give additional type hints --- iterators returned from public methods. Currently an iterator is an iterator and it can have any kind of element inside, but if it'd be an Iterator[type] that'd be a different story. Refs. #2767 and #2768.
