A mean of ints returns a float.

Hm yes. I wonder if we could just drop int from the typevar and rely on automatic int-to-float promotion.

Yes, I think that should work. It would lie slightly in that something like statistics.median([1, 2, 3]) will in fact return int but mypy would infer it to return float, but that seems harmless.

In fact, median for ints returns a float if the number of elements is even. So I think we're good :)
