I could change `sqlite-utils` so `db.table(name)` always returns a table and you need to call `db.view(name)` if you want to access a view - that would require bumping to 4.0 though. I'm not convinced that's the best approach here either.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",1393202060,devrel/python api: Pylance type hinting,

```python
from sqlite_utils.db import Table
def tbl(self, table_name: str) -> Table:
    tbl = self.db[table_name]
    if isinstance(tbl, Table):
        return tbl
    raise Exception(f""Missing {table_name=}"")
```

With respect to @chapmanjacobd concern on the `DEFAULT` being an empty class, have also been using `# type: ignore`, e.g.

```python
@classmethod
def insert_list(cls, areas: list[str]):
    return meta.tbl(meta.Areas).insert_all(
        ({""area"": a} for a in areas), ignore=True  # type: ignore
    )

I _think_ anything that is `argname=DEFAULT` needs to be typed as `argname: str | Default = DEFAULT` (replacing `str` with the appropriate type(s)). We may be able to get clever and tie the types to that key in the `_defaults` dict (definitely possible in Typescript, but I'm less familiar with advanced python types). 

Right now, all args are typed as `Default`, which means all callers get type errors. 

As for table/view, given that they don't have the same methods, it would be nice to be able to get one or the other specifically.
