Re-export all names from typing (#196) * Re-export all names from typing Fixes #50. I decided to exclude top-level names that have a definite removal timeline (io, re, ByteString); there's no point in re-exporting them now. Many other names are deprecated without a definite removal plan (PEP 585). If they do get removed eventually, typing-extensions can simply re-export the builtin/collections.abc names. In the documentation, I add a separate section listing all the names that are pure aliases for typing. This makes it easier to distinguish the cases where there is something more interesting going on in typing-extensions.

The typing_extensions module serves two related purposes:
typing.TypeGuard is new in Python 3.10, but typing_extensions allows users on previous Python versions to use it too.typing module.typing_extensions uses Semantic Versioning. The major version will be incremented only for backwards-incompatible changes. Therefore, it's safe to depend on typing_extensions like this: typing_extensions >=x.y, <(x+1), where x.y is the first version that includes all features you need.
typing_extensions supports Python versions 3.7 and higher.
See the documentation for a complete listing of module contents.
To run tests, navigate into the src/ directory and run test_typing_extensions.py.
