Feature

Right now mypy does not support proper __post_init__ signatures.
For example:

import dataclasses

@dataclasses.dataclass
class My:
    x: int
    y: dataclasses.InitVar[str] = 'a'

For now, mypy will allow a lot of incorrect code to slip in:

• def __post_init__(self, y: str) -> str: ..., which needs to return None
• def __post_init__(self, y: int) -> None: ..., which has incorrect type for y
• def __post_init__(self) -> None: ..., which has no y
• def __post_init__(self, x: int, y: str) -> None: ..., which has extra x param

Pitch

We can easily support this feature and make sure that __post_init__ signature is always correct for a dataclass.
