Description

When(/if) https://peps.python.org/pep-0727/ is adopted then parameter and return/yield descriptions can be attached directly to the type. Having a "Parameters" section or a "Returns" section in the docs will not be necessary. Numpydoc should support typing[_extensions].Doc and the changes it implies to the docstring sections.

Research direction

Start by reading PEP 727 and reviewing how numpydoc currently handles Parameters and Returns sections. Define the behavior for typing.Doc annotations and the resulting docstring sections; done means supported parameter and return/yield descriptions can be attached directly to types.
