Description
```py
class A[*Ts]: ...
class B[**P]: ...
# unknown/projected - currently impossible
unknown_a: A[...]
unknown_b: B[...]
# `...` will now mean unknown, not Any
# variadic - currently disgusting A[*tuple[int, ...]]
variadic_a: A[*int] # ideal, but is a TypeError at runtime
variadic_b: A[*int] # ideal, but is a TypeError at runtime
variadic_a: A[Unpack[int]]
variadic_b: B[Unpack[int]]
```
Contributor guide
Research direction
The issue names no implementation files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating handling for variadic and parameter-spec type parameters, then inspect how projected `...`, `Unpack`, and runtime subscription behavior are represented. Done means the proposed unknown and variadic forms work consistently for both `*Ts` and `**P` without the stated runtime failure.
