There is an (old) similar proposal https://github.com/python/typing/issues/402 
btw.

Taking into account that this can be made only in 3.9, what is the benefit over 
``from __future__ import annotations`` (that one can use already) do you see?

IMO there are only rare cases of type aliases and base classes, so I don't see 
much benefit. Also making it generic will require importing ``typing`` from 
``os`` which may make it slower to import (``typing`` is a really heavy module, 
in particular because it imports many other modules).
