## Other Return Type Annotations { #other-return-type-annotations }

There might be cases where you return something that is not a valid Pydantic field and you annotate it in the function, only to get the support provided by tooling (the editor, mypy, etc).

   * class to begin with but rather something returned from a static factory method whose declared

   * used in FilenameFilter.)
