Guido, sorry for the late response on this. I have a work around, but it involves passing along my own "context" from which to resolve strings on the go as they are encountered while decomposing the type hint.

I'm using `typing.get_type_hints()` expecting it to fully resolve all forward references, but that no longer happens with PEP 585 generics.

I understand the documentation has been updated to reflect this behaviour, but it was an issue for me because it broke it's original API contract.

> In addition, forward references encoded as string literals are handled by evaluating them in globals and locals namespaces.

Arguably the same has happened when `include_extras` was added (Annotated was now stripped from the returned resolved type hints by default), but that had an easy fix by simply wrapping it with `include_extra=True` depending on the Python version. The fix for the forward references in PEP 585 was not so trivial because we can't hook into what `get_type_hints()` does when it encounters a string.
