- Only attempt to figure out whether protocol members are "method members" or not if the class is marked as a runtime protocol. This information is irrelevant for non-runtime protocols; we can safely skip the risky introspection for them.
- Only do the risky getattr() calls in one place (the runtime_checkable class decorator), rather than in three places (_ProtocolMeta.__init__, _ProtocolMeta.__instancecheck__ and _ProtocolMeta.__subclasscheck__). This reduces the number of locations in typing.py where the risky introspection could go wrong.
- For runtime protocols, if determining whether a protocol member is callable or not fails, give a better error message. I think it's reasonable for us to reject runtime protocols that have members which raise strange exceptions when you try to access them. PEP-544 clearly states that all protocol member must be callable for issubclass() calls against the protocol to be valid -- and if a member raises when we try to access it, there's no way for us to figure out whether it's a callable member or not!
Deprecate two methods of creating typing.TypedDict classes with 0 fields using the functional syntax: `TD = TypedDict("TD")` and `TD = TypedDict("TD", None)`. Both will be disallowed in Python 3.15. To create a TypedDict class with 0 fields, either use `class TD(TypedDict): pass` or `TD = TypedDict("TD", {})`.
Deprecate creating a typing.NamedTuple class using keyword arguments to denote the fields (`NT = NamedTuple("NT", x=int, y=str)`). This will be disallowed in Python 3.15. Use the class-based syntax or the functional syntax instead.
Two methods of creating `NamedTuple` classes with 0 fields using the functional syntax are also deprecated, and will be disallowed in Python 3.15: `NT = NamedTuple("NT")` and `NT = NamedTuple("NT", None)`. To create a `NamedTuple` class with 0 fields, either use `class NT(NamedTuple): pass` or `NT = NamedTuple("NT", [])`.
Mostly, these are changes so that we use shorter sentences and shorter paragraphs. In particular, I've tried to make the first sentence introducing each object in the typing API short and declarative.
This implements PEP 695, Type Parameter Syntax. It adds support for:
- Generic functions (def func[T](): ...)
- Generic classes (class X[T](): ...)
- Type aliases (type X = ...)
- New scoping when the new syntax is used within a class body
- Compiler and interpreter changes to support the new syntax and scoping rules

I'd like to make the fact that this does nothing at runtime
really obvious, since I suspect this is unintuitive for users who are
unfamiliar with static type checking.
I thought of this because of
https://discuss.python.org/t/add-arg-check-type-to-types/26384
wherein I'm skeptical that the user really did want `assert_type`.
