I don't think ONLY_IF_STRINGIZED is the best compromise. I don't think it solve any issue.

```
if False:
    from typing import List

def f1() -> 'List[str]':
    pass

def f2(a:int) -> 'List[str]':
    pass
```

In this example, both of help(f1) and help(f2) must show signature, not raise an error.
