This module provides runtime support for type hints. The most fundamental
support consists of the types :data:`Any`, :data:`Union`, :data:`Callable`,
:class:`TypeVar`, and :class:`Generic`. For a full specification, please see
:class:`TypeVar`, and :class:`Generic`. For a specification, please see
:pep:`484`. For a simplified introduction to type hints, see :pep:`483`.
