Related, `inspect.Parameter.annotation` is affected too, but at least this attribute is called `annotation` instead of `type`. I noticed this today with `multipledispatch` (though [reported](https://github.com/mrocklin/multipledispatch/issues/104) in 2019) and some other internal code, both using `inspect.signature`. `multipledispatch` could reasonably swap to `typing.get_type_hints`, but the other code I was working with also used `Parameter.default` and `Parameter.kind`, so would require both `inspect.signature` and `get_type_hints`. Not the worst and arguably necessary now/pre PEP 563 with explicit string annotations, but the PEP 649 semantics would be a welcome improvement.
