ably
Import all types in __init__
Working with ably Python SDK has been pretty painless so far, except that very few of the types that are defined in ably/types are available to me, the developer.
I propose expanding the imports in init to include most (all?) types defined in ably/types.
For example: it is not possible to create a variable to store a Realtime channel with a correct type definition.

A concrete example:
`import ably
channel: ably.realtime.realtime_channel.RealtimeChannel`
This doesn't work.
`from ably.realtime.realtime_channel import RealtimeChannel
channel: RealtimeChannel`
This does.
Hi @jamesroseman, Thanks for reporting the issue! We do have pending issue to add strong type support. We will try to include fix for the same in future release 👍
It seems like that issue has been open for 241 days. Any indication on a timeline? I'm doing some prototyping to evaluate an Ably solution and having type support would greatly impact my assessment of its suitability. It doesn't seem like a big lift. I'd offer to put up a PR myself but it seems the last PR set to address this issue was reverted a few weeks after it was merged.
@jamesroseman feel free to open the PR. We will be happy to review and merge it as long as it doesn't impact/break for existing users.
