+ "This package makes runtime typing inspection with the typing module
+possible with newer syntax in older Python versions. Specifically, this
+transforms @code{X | Y} into @code{typing.Union[X, Y]} and @code{list[X]} into
+@code{typing.List[X]} etc. (for all the types made generic in PEP 585) if the
+original syntax is not supported in the current Python version.")
