Pyright type checking does not pass (causing Pylance in vscode to show typing errors)

For example I need to use str() for .stem field, otherwise it shows:

[hmc-cs-mdrissi]

I would type hint properties normally and for _dispatch_to_path just do,

def _dispatch_to_path(self, func: str, *args: object, **kwargs: object) -> Any:
    ...

dispatch_to_path is doing too much magic to be understandable for a static type checker. Mostly getattribute and how literal string value of func can change return type in a variety of ways. After you effectively ignore _dispatch_to_path you can add hints for each property normally like,

@property
def name(self) -> str:
    ...

Down to 48 errors on latest code with #298 and other improvements, next time someone looks at making pyright pass. I get pretty decent hinting in vscode currently, just for the record.
