Type hints for operators were refined in #13635 0, but the refinements were generally not propagated to the method equivalents (pow() being the sole exception). This can result in equivalent expressions being treated differently by type checkers, especially if stricter settings are used that discourage/disallow the use of Any.
This commit changes the type hints for the method equivalents to match those for the operators. This should ensure resulting types are consistent regardless of whether one uses infix operators or their method equivalents.
This also has the side benefit of making the documentation a bit more consistent as the type hint more closely matches the stated type of the argument in the docstring.
