(Checks docs) Hmm, I'd missed that this was even in there.

Regardless of what happens with the typing module, I think this should
be moved. I expect there are many people who never looked at the docs
of the typing module because they don't use type annotations. I know
the class uses type annotations to define its attributes, but I don't
see that as an issue. Data classes do the same, and they won't be in
the typing module...
