Got you, thanks. This part of the document(from typing docs) was "quoted" in the issue, I though that I should updated that part. Now I need to find out where I should document that behaviour in python docs. If you have any suggestions, let me know, appreciated ) |

This could be added to https://docs.python.org/3.14/library/stdtypes.html#generic-alias-type |

I added new explanations to the part of the document that relates to that issue (after explanation of "type erasure").
