+This module contains type definitions for the Sentry SDK's public API.
+The types are re-exported from the internal module `sentry_sdk._types`.
+
+Disclaimer: Since types are a form of documentation, type definitions
+may change in minor releases. Removing a type would be considered a
+breaking change, and so we will only remove type definitions in major
+releases.
