This shows users that they can use the actual types. Using deprecated types is confusing.
This also prefers colections.abc.Sized instead of the alias typing.Sized. I guess the aliases were created to make it convenient to import all collections related types from the same place.
This should be backported to 3.9.

* 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.

PR #4906 changed the typing.Generic class hierarchy, leaving an
outdated comment in the library reference. User-defined Generic ABCs now
must get a abc.ABCMeta metaclass from something other than typing.Generic
inheritance.
This PR replaces the old note mentioning that `typing` is a provisional module with a new one mentioning types are not enforced at runtime. I am not sure if there was any official announcement about making `typing` non-provisional, but _de-facto_ no new features were added during Python 3.7, and no backwards incompatible changes were made except for few small things that were considered bugs.
https://bugs.python.org/issue37814:
> The empty tuple syntax in type annotations, `Tuple[()]`, is not obvious from the examples given in the documentation (I naively expected `Tuple[]` to work); it has been documented in PEP 484 and in mypy, but not in the documentation for the typing module.

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.
* Replace external recipe link with a link to the dataclasses module.
* Highlight the class definition syntax for typing.NamedTuple
and add an example for clarity.
Currently, the docs state that when doing `Type[X]`, X is only allowed to
be a class, a union of classes, and Any. This pull request amends
that sentence to clarify X may also be a typevar (or a union involving
classes, Any, and TypeVars).
