New submission from Nikita Sobolev <mail at sobolevn.me>:

After reviewing https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/30777 I had a chance to look through other definitions of `def __class_getitem__`. And I found that the only one left is: `pathlib.PurePath.__class_getitem__`

All other definitions already have this form: `__class_getitem__ = classmethod(GenericAlias)`.

I don't think that there's anything special about `PurePath` in this regard. So, I propose to make `__class_getitem__` to return `GenericAlias` as all other types do.

Initial PR: https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/17498

PR is on its way.
