Description
The typing spec should mandate that type checkers support the typing_extensions module by treating any name imported from it as equivalent to the same name in typing.
This is noncontroversial (I hope!), but it's still a substantive change to the spec, so it should go through the procedure in https://github.com/python/typing-council?tab=readme-ov-file#decisions. I'll likely do that in January.
