Actually, the key part of the new syntax, x[a=b], is not useful for typing,
at least it's not something that's been discussed in the typing-sig at all.

Let me clarify what the typing-sig folks wanted out of this PEP. We only
care about adding support for `x[*y]` (including things like `x[a, *b,
c]`). We'll just update PEP 646 to add that explicitly there and hope that
PEP 646 fares better than PEP 637.
