To do this EVERY object that you might list as alternatives would have to
support `__or__()` and `__ror__()`.
Moreover, for many types, `|` is defined with conflicting meaning. E.g. `3
| 5 | 11 == 15`. But of course 3, 5, 11 aren't the unique collection of
numbers that bitwise or to 15. At runtime, we'd have no idea what the
alternatives so expressed were.

Become ….
x: 1 | 2 | 3 = 3 name: “John” | None = “John"
def open(file: Path | str, mode: “w” | “a” = “w”): …
