Make the design more object-oriented.
Split _GenericAlias on two almost independent classes: for special
generic aliases like List and for parametrized generic aliases like List[int].
Add specialized subclasses for Callable, Callable[...], Tuple and Union[...].
This implements things like `list[int]`,
which returns an object of type `types.GenericAlias`.
This object mostly acts as a proxy for `list`,
but has attributes `__origin__` and `__args__`
that allow recovering the parts (with values `list` and `(int,)`.
There is also an approximate notion of type variables;
e.g. `list[T]` has a `__parameters__` attribute equal to `(T,)`.
Type variables are objects of type `typing.TypeVar`.
* bpo-39491: Merge PEP 593 (typing.Annotated) support
PEP 593 has been accepted some time ago. I got a green light for merging
this from Till, so I went ahead and combined the code contributed to
typing_extensions[1] and the documentation from the PEP 593 text[2].
My changes were limited to:
* removing code designed for typing_extensions to run on older Python
versions
* removing some irrelevant parts of the PEP text when copying it over as
documentation and otherwise changing few small bits to better serve
the purpose
* changing the get_type_hints signature to match reality (parameter
names)
I wasn't entirely sure how to go about crediting the authors but I used
my best judgment, let me know if something needs changing in this
regard.

This patch enables downstream projects inspecting a TypedDict subclass at runtime to tell which keys are optional.
This is essential for generating test data with Hypothesis or validating inputs with typeguard or pydantic.
This is an old feature request that appears from time to time. After a year of experimenting with various introspection capabilities in `typing_inspect` on PyPI, I propose to add these two most commonly used functions: `get_origin()` and `get_args()`. These are essentially thin public wrappers around private APIs: `__origin__` and `__args__`.
As discussed in the issue and on the typing tracker, exposing some public helpers instead of `__origin__` and `__args__` directly will give us more flexibility if we will decide to update the internal representation, while still maintaining backwards compatibility.
The implementation is very simple an is essentially a copy from `typing_inspect` with one exception: `ClassVar` was special-cased in `typing_inspect`, but I think this special-casing doesn't really help and only makes things more complicated.
I tried to get rid of the `_ProtocolMeta`, but unfortunately it didn'y work. My idea to return a generic alias from `@runtime_checkable` made runtime protocols unpickleable. I am not sure what is worse (a custom metaclass or having some classes unpickleable), so I decided to stick with the status quo (since there were no complains so far). So essentially this is a copy of the implementation in `typing_extensions` with two modifications:
* Rename `@runtime` to `@runtime_checkable` (plus corresponding updates).
* Allow protocols that extend `collections.abc.Iterable` etc.
The implementation is straightforward, it just mimics `ClassVar` (since the latter is also a name/access qualifier, not really a type). Also it is essentially copied from `typing_extensions`.
In order to support typing checks calling hex(), oct() and bin() on user-defined classes, a SupportIndex protocol is required. The ability to check these at runtime would be good to add for completeness sake. This is pretty much just a copy of SupportsInt with the names tweaked.
