- Explicit list of what it does that is different from "just return __annotations__" - Remove reference to PEP 563; adding the future import doesn't do anything to type aliases, and in general it will never make get_type_hints() less likely to fail. - Remove example, as the Annotated docs already have a similar example, and it's unbalanced to have one example about this one edge case but not about other behaviors of the function.
