I wonder if then the __co_annotations__ call and overwriting of __annotations__ should be explicitly caused by a to get_type_hints instead of (mysteriously) occurring on an attempt to getattr __annotations__.
I would say: absolutely not. While all "type hints" are annotations, not all annotations are "type hints". As mentioned previously in this thread, typing.get_type_hints() is opinionated in ways that users of annotations may not want. And personally I bristle at the idea of gating a language feature behind a library function.
Besides, most users will never know or care about __co_annotations__. If you're not even aware that it exists, it's not mysterious ;-)
