I reorganized the typing module docs, Guido made suggestions, reviewed and merged it to master.
Right now everything in typing.rst [1] applies to 3.9 as well as 3.10.

How about copying the typing.rst file to the 3.9 branch, so more people would benefit from it sooner?
Doc improvements are routinely backported to versions they apply to, the same as with bugfixes. Doing so is usually decided and done by the person merging to master. The main reason not to do so is when there are major merge conflicts. Doc changes show up online the next day. I assume that the changes did not make the 3.9.0rc1 release ea rlier today. Whether the release crew will update the offline docs included with Windows and Mac installers in .0rc2 and .0 is a separate issue from doing a backport. -- Terry Jan Reedy
