Another #mypy puzzler; apparently mypy doesn’t know how to do type narrowing when you do an early return like this:

@kevinbrownsilva Ah, good point!
@pganssle I wonder if that has to do with subclasses? Like if you extended str in a class FancyStr and passed that in, your function is expecting FancyStr to be returned back. But you're only returning str, not FancyStr.
